SUMMARY:Selemo
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Into the light\, into beauty\, into life! Spring symbolizes the
  power of transformation\, rebirth\, and the ancient promise of coming pro
 sperity. What could this dream of abundance mean for us culturally\, spiri
 tually\, and sonically\, beyond national boundaries? With their chamber op
 era Selemo \, the South African composers and performers Sbusiso Shozi and
  Nhlanhla Mahlangu from Johannesburg’s Centre for the Less Good Idea are
  taking a new approach to the idea of spring\, exploring it through body\,
  sound\, and voice. Together with soloists and orchestral musicians from t
 he Komische Oper Berlin\, they’re sparking a musical conversation about 
 returning to a more deeply rooted understanding of nature\, one that goes 
 beyond the dictates of the colonial calendar. African rites of passage mee
 t baroque splendour when Vivaldi’s Four Seasons intertwine with the Umkh
 osi woMhlanga\, the ritual reed dance of the Swazi. The world premiere of 
 Selemo \, co-produced with the Neuköllner Oper\, is about new beginnings\
 , creative exchanges\, and shared celebrations.Together with soloists and
