LU OpeRAVE

Inspired by Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, the production tells the story of LU, a gender-fluid individual struggling with societal and familial expectations. Finding refuge in Lucia's haunting presence, LU undergoes a journey of discovery, self-acceptance and eventual liberation.

The performance is structured in immersive ‘capsules’ in a pulsating nightclub environment. Loud music, DJ sets and live opera performances merge to create a theatrical rave where storytelling meets high-energy clubbing. The audience becomes part of LU’s Odyssey and experiences their transformation first-hand. In contrast to Lucia di Lammermoor’s tragic fate, LU finds redemption in the music of Donna, a powerful figure who encourages them to embrace their own truth.
