ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
What happens when you watch TV? Is it innocent entertainment or a cynical vehicle to exploit the people it puts on display? Does it serve only to manipulate its audience to buy things or provide a window into the joy and hope of humanity?
Echoing familiar TV programmes – from celebrity reality series to talent shows and catchy advert jingles – Streetwise Opera and Tête à Tête co-production explores both the humour and darker undertones of the small screen.
Featuring Streetwise Opera performers, this bold new opera opened the 2015 Tête à Tête Opera Festival. All of the ideas and text were inspired by workshops with Streetwise London performers, many of whom have experienced homelessness.
