The Passenger is based on the eponymous novel of the Polish writer and survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, Zofia Posmycz, in which Martha (Elena Kelessidi), a one-time Secret Service overseer of the camp, unexpectedly meets Lisa (Michelle Breedt), a former prisoner with whom Martha had contact. In flashbacks we learn about what happened in Auschwitz and about the relationship between the two protagonists. The opera is sung in German, English, French, Russsian and Yiddish, and is being performed throughout Europe and the United States over the coming year. The documentary “In der Fremde” portrays Weinberg’s life, reveals the creation of the novel and the author’s memories of Auschwitz,, and shows the work that led up to the performance at the Bregenz Festival. |
