AER

Dutch National Opera (2023)

The love between two young men is stronger than death – but is it stronger than fear?

The relationship between two young lovers, Sonus and Avir, grows beyond death. They converse vividly but Sonus’ fear of being judged for it by society runs deep. AER combines an interactive electronic music installation on stage with a composition of floating rhythms and modal harmonies, interrupted by dissonance.
