Something overwhelming has happened to Maria. What does she not remember. Is she an illegal refugee? Has she committed a terrible crime? On a beach filled with carefree, vacationing people, Maria meets her shadow self, »The Other«, who drives her to confront her feelings of guilt for having survived a natural disaster. Stranded is a ritual opera about grief's path to being able to continue living when what has given life meaning is gone.

Karin Rehnqvist is one of Sweden's leading contemporary composers. Partly inspired by the great collective tragedy of the 2004 tsunami, which she witnessed on the spot in Thailand, together with the playwright and librettist Kerstin Perski, she has written a tender opera that revolves around important universal human questions about grief, loss, survivor's guilt and the search for balance in a world turned upside down. Opera singing is mixed with the style of folk music when Lena Willemark sings the role of »Den Andra«. Maria herself is sung by Vivianne Holmberg.

English

Något överväldigande har hänt Maria. Vad minns hon inte. Är hon en illegal flykting? Har hon begått ett fruktansvärt brott? På en strand fylld av sorglösa, semestrande människor möter Maria sitt skuggjag, »Den Andra«, som driver henne till att konfrontera sina skuldkänslor för att ha överlevt en naturkatastrof. Strandad är en rituell opera om sorgens väg till att kunna fortsätta leva när det som har gett livet mening är borta.

Karin Rehnqvist är en av Sveriges främsta samtida tonsättare. Delvis inspirerad av den stora kollektiva tragedin med 2004 års tsunami, som hon bevittnade på plats i Thailand, har hon tillsammans med dramatikern och librettisten Kerstin Perski skrivit en ömsint opera som kretsar kring viktiga allmänmänskliga frågor om sorg, saknad, överlevandeskuld och sökande efter balans i en värld som vänts upp och ned. Operasång blandas med folkmusikens stilmedel när Lena Willemark sjunger rollen som »Den Andra«. Maria själv sjungs av Vivianne Holmberg.
