Revelation – Paradise Now!
2023
In Offenbarung – Paradise now!, Marc Sinan dedicates his epic oratorio between five continents to different, competing narratives of the end of all time.
The orchestra is joined by artists from Uganda, the Argentinian jungle, the heart of Australia and Antarctica. The last apocalypse, HAL, the artificial intelligence knows the way out: I am you, in you, from you. You are the revelation. You are the destruction. You are salvation. Sing and dance and play, because you are the war and you are paradise. Here and now. Here and now. Here and now.
