Two short operas in just under an hour – two stories about two couples: a woman, a man, and a telephone whose ringing prevents any deeper conversation. A pair of lovers, members of opposing sides, meet on the battlefield and are fatally wounded, each unknowingly. What can love be? And what happens when an abyss yawns on both sides of the tightrope walk between mutual love and individual freedom? The young director Kilian Bohnensack bridges the gap between the archaic and the modern with his combination of two music theater compositions.
