'The Death of Klinghoffer'

For this new staging of The Death of Klinghoffer, Berlinde De Bruyckere contributes a powerful installation that becomes an integral part of the opera’s visual and emotional landscape. Known for her evocative sculptural language, the artist introduces forms that evoke vulnerability, suffering, and the fragility of the human body.

In dialogue with John Adams’ score and Luca Guadagnino’s direction, the installation deepens the opera’s meditation on violence, memory, and collective trauma. The result is a layered, immersive experience in which visual art and performance converge, heightening the intensity and resonance of the work.
