La Doriclea: Inter-Acts, a new commission from Ensemble Nylandia, follows two colliding timelines: in a 17th-century opera, rival warriors fall in love with each other; in the current day, a group of artists survives in dystopian America; music and dance transcend time and weave these worlds closer together until the warrior Doriclea stands face to face with their 21st-century counterpart.
La Doriclea: Inter-Acts is a new production about finding solidarity and freedom in the connections made possible by art. The music features excerpts from La Doriclea (1645), the once-controversial and partially censored opera by F. Cavalli, alongside other 17th century music by composers such as Byrd, Meder, and Marazzoli.
Duration ca. 2,5 hrs, including intermission.
