Exiting Chaos ~ an operatic experiment
Event by: Panos Gklist, Barbara Duijfjes
Location: Splendor Amsterdam, Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 116, Amsterdam - Amsterdam-Centrum
About event
A contemporary operatic experiment at the edge of desire, chaos, and catharsis. Inspired by the psyche and work of Sylvia Plath.
Exiting Chaos is our personal journey out of a state of mind where everything pulls you in different directions at once. A mind overloaded with information, full of desires, and weighed down by obligations from all sides.
The result? A physical and mental numbness—where even the smallest decision feels out of reach, and taking a single step seems impossible. Coming from different artistic backgrounds, we tried to create a shared language—one where speech, music, visuals, and drama all play an equal role.
Along the way, we faced our own chaos—and found a way through it.
Our discoveries can now be sung, sounded, performed, and drawn—
in this staged collage of sound, image, and voice.
Creative Team:
Music by Panos Gklistis
Live Visuals by Silvia Bolognesi
External Eye / Core Collaborator: Barbara Duijfjes
