Four people, perhaps the last of all, play with power and powerlessness, memory and repression, affection and humiliation, while the world outside crumbles. A lifelong fascination with Samuel Beckett's “End Game” inspired the Hungarian composer György Kurtág to write his only opera, “Fin de Partie,” in 2018. Kurtág's 100th birthday is the occasion for the Swiss premiere of his work in Basel, where the composer regularly worked. In his Basel debut, director David Marton takes a look into the abysses, but also at the absurd comedy of the characters. Beckett's classic of absurd theater as an opera will be performed in French with English and German surtitles.
Tickets are 30-145 for adults and CHF 20 for youths and students.
