STILETTO - Opera Nova
El Perro Andaluz
© Heike Antocci
A musical theatre piece about freedom, the body and resistance – exploring sound, movement and political reality.
Stiletto – Opera Nova focuses on the human body as a space of freedom, control and self-determination. Drawing on the experiences of the Iranian-German composer Fojan Gharibnejad, the work combines music, performance and space to create a new form of musical theatre. The ambiguous term ‘stiletto’ – referring both to an elegant high-heeled shoe and a historical stabbing weapon – serves as the starting point for a multi-layered exploration of power, gender roles and societal constructs. Stiletto – Opera Nova understands freedom not as a given state, but as a fragile, ongoing process – and from this develops a powerful, highly topical artistic perspective on our present day.
Following its world premiere on November 27, 2026 at Labortheater Dresden, Stiletto – Opera Nova is coming to the Theater im Delphi for its Berlin premiere.
---El Perro Andaluz Founded in 2007 through a collaboration with Brian Ferneyhough, El Perro Andaluz has, in a very short space of time, developed into one of the most versatile ensembles for contemporary music and performance in Germany. At the heart of their work across various musical fields – music theatre, installations, concerts and music education projects – and in reference to the short film Un chien andalou lie artistic and friendly collaboration, playful provocation and the exploration of new forms of expression.
