RED WATERS

In an isolated village where wine flows in rivers, strange rituals take place. Where secrets and unspoken words reign. Twins separated at birth unknowingly fall in love with each other. Their forbidden passion disturbs the balance.

Red dominates the stage, like blood that irrigates the scene or an alcohol that stuns the senses. Enchantment, melancholy, the duo Lady & Bird, formed by Keren Ann Zeidel and Barði Jóhannsson, composed in complicity with Sjón (poet, novelist and Icelandic lyricist of Björk), Red Waters. A pop opera and gothic tale that imagines a story between norm and transgression, whisper and exuberance.

Production in partnership with the Rennes Opera and the Orchestre National de Bretagne
