19.00 New synagogue Miroslav Tóth, Marek Kundlák: Eye for an Eye video-opera / english friendly
The story takes place in eastern-Slovakian town of Humenné. It depicts the struggle of an ex-soldier to fit in the civil shoes after leaving the army. He comes to Humenné with a plan to open a weapon factory. There´s a significant tension between his civil present and his military past. This unnamed “Man” tries to benefit from the position of the town in “forgotten east” far from the capital, and also from the high unemplyment rate of the highly poluted region, nicknamed as “a triangle of death”. The goal seems to be reachable and we witness the Man´s green-suit cynicism that makes him successful in his path. How far does this attitude lead him? The opera combines documentary video sequences with pre-recorded singing, composed and improvised live music and stage action of 2 actors.
