DUST

a multi-sensory chamber opera

DUST engages an international community of artists initiated by the progressive Danish composer Line Tjørnhøj. In August 2015 the first edition of a contemporary Gesamtkunstwerk was premiered in Aarhus, Denmark. On an existential quest for a new social agenda and new way of making collaborative art, the interdisciplinary ensemble began their journey into the core of chaos, desire and love.
