ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Anthony’s Death, Kharálampos Goyós’ latest work, an outrageous, iconoclastic “opera of the absurd”, arrives on GNO TV for six free streaming broadcasts on Sundays 23, 30 May & 6, 13, 20, 27 June 2021 at 9pm. The production, on a libretto by Yannis Filias and Kharálampos Goyós based on the memory of the Japanese anime TV series Candy Candy and on the writings of Slavoj Žižek, is staged by noted director Dimitris Karantzas in his first collaboration with the Alternative Stage.
Anthony’s Death is an exciting contemporary opera dedicated to all boys ashamed to admit that they cried while watching Candy Candy; a weird, psychoanalytically-inspired “infernal machine” in which the legacy of the aforementioned Japanese anime TV series provocatively meets the thought of the notorious Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, occasioned by the memory of a fall that traumatised an entire generation.
