La traviata
With La Traviata, or ‘the one who’s gone astray’, Nicola Raab reimagines Giuseppe Verdi’s classic about love and suffering as the escape of a modern woman who loses herself in dreamscapes and phantasms—until she is forced to confront the inevitable. In a complex layering of associations and motifs, the lonely protagonist drifts between reality and escapist fantasy, between love and despair.
