Der Abend ist Teil des Symposiums “Exploring Gender-Based Violence and Femicide in 20th and 21st Century Music Theatre”, welcher vom Institut für Musikwissenschaft der Universität Bern veranstaltet wird. Im Anschluss an die Filme findet eine Diskussion unter anderem mit den Komponist*innen der beiden Musiktheater statt. Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Since Catherine Cle?ment's seminal work on the intertwining of opera plots and violence against women,1 a growing number of musicologists have critically engaged with the representation of sexual violence against women in canonical operas and their stagings, and questioned the persistence of rape culture in new productions. This scholarship has successfully examined rape as a 'violent performative of systemic, gendered power. Building on this scholarship, this two-day conference aims to broaden the perspective and specifically examine not only rape of women in opera, but also femicides and sexual violence against men and non-binary people, under the theme of gendered violence in music theatre in the 20th and 21st centuries. Videos of the performances of LA TIERRA DE LA MIEL by Hilda Paredes as well as ROMEO'S PASSION by Robert Lehmeier/Umculo will be shown. |
