The Creation
La Fura Dels Baus's visually striking production reinterprets Hayden's classic in the age of technology A Striking visual scene that transcends your imagination! With a 9-meter crane, 36 huge helium balloons, and a 1,000-liter aquarium, The Creation from La Fura Dels Baus will perform its Asia premiere at Weiwuying!
The Creation (Die Schöpfung) has long been considered Joseph Hayden's masterpiece. With its unique and futuristic stage design aesthetics, La Fura Dels Baus aims to create a “reconciliation between Hayden and the DNA.” The ingenious interplay of light, shadow, and multimedia creates an industrial dreamscape that adds a modern twist to the myth of creation and redefines life’s origin. The Creation will be joined by Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra and Kaohsiung Chamber Choir.
