DirectorHis productions are characterised by dramatic lines that are not subject to the primacy of literature, but which make theatre a physical and complex art, rich in imagery.He made his Paris Opera debut in 2015 with a piercing production of Moses und Aron, which struck audiences by its stylized beauty, its powerful, almost ritualistic imagery and the black and white dialectic which reflected the moral conflict and the difficulty expressing and revealing what is at the very core of Schonberg?s work.Octave discovers the personalities that have marked the history of the Opera which continues to attract the great names of music and dance.This leads to the creation of a language which can be understood as easily as music, sculpture, painting and architecture.His productions are performed regularly at the world?s most prestigious theatres and festivals.This season, he returns to the Paris Opera for the production of Alessandro Scarlatti?s Il Primo Omicidio.He has written several essays on stage direction

Castellucci saw in this tragically banal situation?that of a son accompanying his father in his twilight years?one of the nightmares of our era.A shocking Dionysian vision: the singer herself being swallowed up by the melody is one of the most original propositions on the recital format and the extreme intimacy of song.This dizzyingly clinical exploration gradually strips the combatant of his armour and the theatre of its veil.Three sharp bangs, as if to open the play or mark the force of destiny.And then everything goes downhill until the inevitable explosion: the pain becomes rage expressed in insults to the audience.During the eighth Lied however, everything goes awry.Castellucci had already tried his hand at opera with his version of Combattimento in 2000, he had yet to.Paris audiences discover the impassioned poetry of this Italian dramatist.Els, who is filmed live, is Castellucci?s Eurydice.In the silence, he crouches under the disintegrating face of Christ.Like the Egyptian people, like the African-American slaves immortalized by Faulkner?
