Wood Behaviour LIKE FLESH Sivan Eldar Opéra de Lille

Scene 14. Wood Behaviour The Student tells the Forester how sad she is that her own human life cannot have the same rhythm as the Trees; the Forester praises fire and human civilisation. A subversion of Ovids Metamorphoses, Like flesh is the fruit of a collaboration between a group of committed young artists. The Israeli composer Sivan Eldar creates an intriguing sound world by combining orchestral and electroacoustic music. The British playwright Cordelia Lynn is already well known in English theatre circles for, among other things, her collaboration with Katie Mitchell to restage The Tempest. With the Italian director and scenographer Silvia Costa, they offer a work that transcends natural and touches the supernatural. Driven by the fiery energy of the Le Balcon ensemble, this is a sensual, political, ecological opera as urgent as the climate crisis itself.
