Rusalka. Opera in 3 Acts, Op. 114

The magical tale of great unfulfilled love of the water fairy Rusalka for a man is a magnificent work from the beginning of the past century with a masterful interpretation of the play of waves and reflection of moonlight on the lake and with a singular charm of a fairytale dream.

Certain parts of the libretto, with the moon peeking into people’s homes, became one of the reasons for Lunchmeat Studio to select this world-known musical work for the collaborative concord in the culmination of the exhibition. Their audiovisual installation based on the principle of online communication, too, peers into the private sphere through the Internet. At the same time, it paraphrases films by Oldřich Lipský and Jiří Brdečka, especially Dinner for Adele, which was created with the contribution of Jan Švankmajer.
