Being Apu Sarkar

Being Apu Sarkar 150 150 Christian Winther Christensen

There are three versions of Christian Winther Christensen’s Being Apu Sarkar – a mini opera, a version for the performance collective Dygong, of which the composer is a member – and then the Zoom version for prepared piano, percussion (glass) and saxophone. In the opera, Apu Sarkar is being eaten by the protagonist because he wants to be like him – but not to worry: the cannibalism is a symbol of something completely different: meeting people with an open mind.
