Kaija Sariaaho’s beautiful opera is opening at the Met Opera in New York in April. We made this piece in lockdown in 2020 and it keeps touring the world, am so proud of it
The set is a building that revolves throughout the performance, the rooms full of traces of memory and grief as it evolves from restaurant to school to empty shell before our eyes.
