William Kentridge ‘Notes Towards a Model Opera 2015’ is part of the Kinetismus 100 Years of Electricity in Art at the Kunsthalle Praga. The gallery is housed in a former electricity substation of the City of Prague.
Kentridge never ceases to, or perhaps always will amaze and bewilder with his images and themes.
The Opera takes its name from Chinese model operas developed during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. The work was first shown in Beijing and reflected Kenyridge’s extensive research into the political and social history of modern China.
The work uses ballet, Chinese and African dance and text to evoke his understanding and appreciation of Chinese political, social , cultural experience.
