2024 | Sleeping beauty | libretto


As the female singers enter the stage of the Frankfurt LAB, they refuse to perpetuate the rigid traditional female roles. Yet these have been strongly internalised for generations. A curious search for a new language ensues, which unfolds a new narrative from the ruins of outdated concepts of women.
