“At the end of this finiteness, there is nothing left to lose.”

The expressive orchestral sounds of Leoš Janáček’s third and most successful opera break through between village confinement and breathtaking impotence, revealing extreme human states in a subtle and non-judgemental way. The production is dedicated to the abysses of a ruthless society that incites women to commit helpless acts and then condemns them.
