An eerie modern fairytale about a new housing cooperative. A short opera for a tall woman. Performing Pictures (Geska Brečević & Robert Brečević) created a multimedial dollhouse scenography for the opera KIRA in collaboration with performance artist Charlotte Engelkes. The result is a visually surprising and wayward performance with lots of humor. World premiere October 10, 2013.
