Description

Many operas end badly. Many operas end with deaths. Many operas end with the deaths of women – stabbed, burned, from illness, drowned, poisoned, frightened or with unknown causes. And the audience applauds the singers’ performances effusively, while at the same time applauding the deaths of the women they play. mala voadora recreates operatic endings in which the female characters die, focussing this reenactment on these characters and the arias they sing. And they do so by intensifying the quantity and the vertigo of these deaths until it is impossible not to consider the subjugation and suffering that they actually imply, beyond their operatic seduction. A feminist opera.
