ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
PROGRAM LEAFLET
SALT-ICE is a children’s opera by Ruben Zahra which adopts paper-art as the primary medium for the costumes and set design through the application of origami techniques. The story, written by Susanne Felicitas Wolf, follows the adventure of Katharina and her brother Martin as they travel trough the mountains, across the salt mines and ice caves. This fairy-tale landscape is represented through pop-up paper sculptures that are revealed on stage by the narrator and projected as the scenography of the performance. The contemporary aesthetics of the production are reflected both in the choreography as well as the music, scored for a children’s choir, piano and an electronic soundtrack. SALT-ICE was commissioned by the Bad Ischl Salzkammergut European Capital of Culture 2024.
