Salvation

A science fiction drag ritual and an experimental invocation for a constant distribution of desires based on visions and fantasies Shlomi Moto Wagner has experienced since he was three years old. It explores transformations, mutations and remanifestations of the idea of being, the sensuality of being a body, the politics of having a body and the poetics of sharing a bodily experience. This solo music theater piece is a mythological and poetic reading of current pop culture and its academic discourse. The music of ancient Jewish texts and invocations together with visionary tunes of composer Hildegard von Bingen from the 12th century is newly arranged with pop hits, techno compositions and contemporary feminist texts. All of this makes the opera performance a ritual of transformation. These four performances mark the tenth anniversary of this solo.
