Innocence

Jury Nominee

All the different actors in this production, which was intended to be created in July 2020, come together during summer 2020 for several weeks to begin rehearsals.

The composer Kaija Saariaho, the theatre director Simon Stone, and the singer Magdalena Kožená discuss with Pierre Audi, the director general of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, how the sanitary crisis has impacted the future of this creation. They also illustrate how work on the production of this opera is continuing despite the complicated circumstances.

[Moderator: Alain Perroux, former Co-Director of the Artistic Administration and Dramaturge of the Festival d'Aix.]
