Composition “President”
2019.
Music for theatre show “President”
text: Werner Schwab
director: Radmila Vojvodić
production: The Royal Theatre Zetski Dom, Cetinje
The composition thematizes the phenomenon of manipulation through speech and music, exploring the thin line between the truth and lies, between honesty and hypocrisy.
The text is based on excerpts from political speeches of various world leaders. Their words are deconstructed, fragmented, repeated and re-contextualized, turning them into musical material that loses its original meaning.
Electronics serve as an extension of the voice and piano, creating a sound space that underlines irony and criticism, while also pointing to the absurdity of political discourse.
