Pobeda nad solncem
Content:
"...'Victory Over the Sun' was the product of a collaboration between Cubist artists and Futurists poets in its original 1913 production... The nonsense, or 'transense' language of the libretto, and the abstract, geometric costumes and set designs shocked and delighted the 1913 audience. The librettists, Kruchenykh and Khlebnikov, were developing a poetic language they called in Russian ''zaum'' - beyond reason. Logical, conventional syntax and grammar were sacrificed to pure sound and abstract verbal imagery... Malevich's designs for the sets and costumes gave brilliant visual expression to the poets' convictions. He, too, completely rejected realism in favor of pure geometric line. The backdrops are a series of black and white drawings in squares and diagonals. He also designed the elaborate and strikingly 'modern' lighting. Critics agree upon the significance of 'Victory Over the Sun' as visual art, but the music has received little attention. It was long believed that only 20 measures had survived... However, a large portion of Matiushin's original music suddenly resurfaced 1982 in the Pushkin House in Leningrad... What so excited audiences in St. Petersburg and in Los Angeles was the strongly visual character ... Indeed, 'opera' is a misleading label for this prescient piece; it has much more in common with recent developments in performance art and rock music than with Boris Godunov or Madama Butterfly. R. Benedetti, a member of the faculty of the School of Theater at the California Institute of the Arts, directed 'Victory Over the Sun' in its Los Angeles reincarnation in 1980. The production was repeated ... in a revised version at the Berlin Festival in September 1983..." [nytimes.com]
