About
The Golden Dragon is a polyphonic poem on the human comedy and the inevitable catastrophe that awaits it. From the dining room to the kitchen of an Asian restaurant, The Golden Dragon, via the floors of the building and their occupants, Roland Schimmelpfennig’s work, set to music by the great Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös, invents an unusual language, that paints a damning picture of a banally cruel Western world. A piece that echoes the world premiere of Sleepless which will take place in March in Geneva. For the occasion, there will also be an Eötvös Focus with the OSR and Contrechamps.
