Opera Opaque

Welcome to Madame Silva's fantastically strange macabre cabaret! Spectacular acts of life and death, breakneck humor and the grand finale where Madame Silva faces her own fears...

The stories of her origins are lost in the night of time, and the diverse legends of her past are full of conflicting anecdotes. Some speak of a strange, mythical gathering place deep in Siberia, in a lost village with straight, cobbled streets. Others mention her name in connection with an abandoned castle ruin in Brittany, the existence of which can only be traced back to some obsolete documents.

Ancient rumors also claim that she comes from the depths of the dark Norwegian forests, and some suggest that she has some connection to the beyond; the most daring even claim that she comes from the unspeakable continents on "the other side" ... But all the legends agree on one thing: She gives us chills down our spines!

Opera Opaque is a visual theater performance with actors/figure players, a human-sized figure and shadow theater.
