Composed by EDE
TERÉNYI (www.ede-terenyi.blogspot.com) in 2009, MAHABHARATA is a
monoopera, a very new and interesting gender of opera. The story is based on
the metaphoric and initiatic love between Nala and Damayanti, two legendary
heroes of the old sutras. During the 42 minutes of the music, the singer is
doing the incantation of the true love betwen humans, blessed and confronted
with the gods.
The sound is
evolving on tree levels: the human voice – CARMEN VASILE - (representing the
pure and renewing heart), the orchestra of computer generated sounds – EMIL
GHERASIM – (representing the destiny), the indian traditional instruments (representing
the connection with the roots).
The visual
background is based on photos taken by SZAMÓDI SZOLT during his travel in India and represents the earth and water in
different state of spirit.
