Turandot de AES+F es una reinterpretación del clásico de Puccini a raíz de un encargo del Teatro Comunale di Bologna en junio de 2019. Esta nueva conceptualización lleva a los personajes de la ópera a una localización futura. El resultado es un remix en el que se combina la obra de Puccini, ya de por sí estaba dotada de fuertes valores feministas, con un mundo tecnológico e hipermediatizado.
AES+F (Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatsky and Vladimir Fridkes) has been exploring the possibilities of combining modern technology, Hollywood cinema, fashion photography, advertising, mass media, popular culture and youth obsession with the classical aesthetic of old masters’ paintings since the forming of the group in 1987, visualising and presenting a world for the viewers that is rather familiar yet mysterious and alienated. Their digital collage of real-life photographs and animated landscape/objects blurs and defies the line between reality and fantasy, history and time, constructing a futuristic mythological metaphor for the present through their glamorous, seductive yet alarming, artificially hyper-realistic imageries. AES was first formed in 1987, and in 1995 it became AES+F; the artists currently live and work in Moscow.
