Katarzyna Kozyra
Nightmare, 2004, 4:26 min


The video you are looking for is no longer available.

The performance Nightmare took place on May 28th, 2004 in the Teatro Sociale. It presents the artist, Katarzyna Kozyra, as an opera singer on the night prior to her debut. At the beginning everything seems to be running smoothly, however the accumulation of strange events increasingly creates the impression of participating in someone´s tortured nightmare. The performance in the theatre is complimented by images appearing on two big screens, one above the auditorium and one above the stage. In three acts the singer embodies three different figures from Mozart´s opera. Each act adds to the intensity of the drama undergone by the singer, who can´t sing, doesn´t know the texts, and is ignored by the excessively elegant audience. Spurned by the Maestro (Grzegorz Pitulej) and in the end replaced by a better singer, she falls on the stage in a swoon of death. At the same time, on the big screen above her, she can be seen stepping atop a bonfire kindled by the Maestro and out of embarrassment, she is finally consumed by fire.
