Få dage inden årets Copenhagen Opera Festival begynder, er jeg som anmelder blevet bedt om at holde mig væk fra en af festivalens mest eksperimenterende opførelser på teatret Sort/Hvid. Det er en total misforståelse af kritikkens rolle.
A few days before this year’s Copenhagen Opera Festival begins, I, as a critic, have been asked to keep away from one of the festival’s most experimental performances at the theatre Sort/Hvid. This is a complete misunderstanding of the role of criticism.

»Sofie Birch and Antonina Nowacka create a sensuous acoustic space where the dream of another time is allowed to emerge.«
