OPERA BY GIACOMO PUCCINI
Art collective teamLab makes its scenographic debut with a new production of Giacomo Puccini’s final, unfinished opera Turandot. Transcending the notion of scenography, the opera space is created by a sculptural space of light. Premiering at the Grand Théâtre de Genève in Geneva, teamLab aims to immerse and unify the cast in the light sculptures, creating a space where the stage and audience are continuous without boundaries.
teamLab worked extensively with the Stage Director, Daniel Kramer, to envisage scenography that would unite Kramer’s interpretation of Turandot and teamLab’s aesthetics. As the project evolved over five years, Kramer and teamLab discussed ideas and explored concepts, interpretations, metaphor and symbolism, along with how the visual interpretation of each scene would be realized.
