I DO NOT REMEMBER (INSIDE)

Opera is the art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble.
In this case the story started a year ago. The Archive Gallery is for this project a small room in a small room in a small room for a silent opera, a frozen moment after a dramatic action.

Tetsuo Furudate is born and lives in Tokyo. He started his career in experimental film and video art in 1981, and then he gradually turned toward music through performing art, contributing to the development of the Japanese noise music in its early period. He has spread his activities throughout Europe, with concerts and CD releases. He achieved the premier show of his newest experimental noise opera ”Othello” in 2001.

The work of Tetsuo Furudate is very intense and emotive. If we look closer there is a smell of eternity and the coloured sunlight quivering above the strangest vegetation. I think that I DO NOT REMEMBER (INSIDE) deals with death, but also illness, faith, betrayal, bleakness and insanity. As in Tetsuo Furudates earlier works.
