The “Impossible Opera” is a project by Polish artist and composer Zorka Wollny, who is currently a fellow of the Lower Saxony Foundation at the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art. The 40-minute musical composition with choreographic elements was developed especially for the performance venue and is intended to bring together citizens as well as interest groups such as NGOs, choirs and minority representatives.
 Zorka’s aim is to create a composition between manifestation and vocal concert – a powerful collaborative work. The central component of the “musical demonstration” will be singing and the use of voices. Wollny wants to bring together social and acoustic forces and works with different groups of people. The work, which can also include murmuring, slurping or whistling, is as abstract as it is political, as poetic as it is down-to-earth.

Zorka Wollny is supported by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego).
