HEART CHAMBER [An inquiry about love] by Chaya Czernowin
World premiere on 15 November 2019 at Deutsche Oper Berlin
While on the surface Leoš Janáček's DIE SACHE MAKROPULOS is a crime play about a complex inheritance dispute, on a deeper level the opera raises existential questions about eternal life and what price you pay for that dream.
The daughter of the powerful spirit ruler Keikobad was hunted by the emperor when she had taken on the form of a gazelle and then became empress by marrying him. Now, to prevent the emperor from being turned to stone, she must cast a shadow, symbolized by being able to bear a child. In the human world, she tries to buy the shadow of a childless dyer’s wife. But when she realises that she can only buy her luck through this couple’s misfortune, she decides to relinquish her wish.
