Artists

Menade

MENADE is a group of artists that explores the boundaries between opera and drama and seeks ways to break them down. The group presents classical material in a new context, experiments, renews and challenges; their focus is placed on the role of women and questions of identity. The group began their joint work in 2015 during their studies and since then have developed a special form of collaboration: direction, stage and costume design leave their traditional terrain and become involved in all levels of the production. This concept includes the creation of new music, visual language and spatial forms that partially dissolve the classical audience situation. The result is a complete dramaturgical experience that also involves the audience. In 2018, Menade won the Berlin Opera Prize for its work Prostheses of Autonomy.

MENADE is Zsófia Geréb, Vanessa Vadineanu and Florence Klotz.
