SKU: FV.FUE-2591
Composed by Camille van Lunen. Edited by Camille van Lunen. Score. Furore Verlag #FUE 2591. Published by Furore Verlag (FV.FUE-2591).ISBN 979-0-50012-517-4.
The theme and rhythms of the book Trawler inspire Camille van Lunen's original music drama. The extreme weather and violence of the sea together with the merciless tempo of work on board find expression in her unique musical language. Trawler is a voyage into the souls of the young fishermen whose harsh life at sea is dominated by fear yet alleviated by comradeship and humour. Women, though never on board, inhabit their dreams and hallucinations and eventually become the turning point of the opera. For days on end, men are confined at close quarters on a ship in the middle of a storm. Sleepless and exhausted, the barriers fall and they reveal their deepest hopes and fears with aggressive honesty.
