LA TRAVIATA POETICS

„I stripped the subject bare, choosing not to conceal it behind the sparkle of crystal and gilt. After all, you can sell yourself on the street just as well as at society soirees, and the former is more common than the latter. Violetta’s Dream meets with a reality that is, in fact, more brutal and cynical than her actual life. To all appearances a world of opulence, so attractive and out of reach, bogged down in the prostitution of human relationships. Her attempt to reach out to this world becomes a horrific, phantasmagoric nightmare. As with The Rape of Lucretia we tore down the fourth wall, setting the space free“
