It is there that ten-year-old Theatre Cryptic now premieres its latest commission, a chamber opera that crosses the genres of music, theatre and visual art. Written by Latvian composer Andris Dzenitis, Books of Silence is based on seven poems by the Lithuanian born Oscar Milosz. Uncle of Polish Nobel Prize-winning poet Czeslaw Milosz, he was a recluse whose work is darkly coloured, much of it concerned with loneliness and anger. In this new piece, directed by Cathie Boyd, his poetry is used to unveil a world of longing, love, death and the way that memory and dreams can bring about something far from what is real. At the age of only 26, Dzenitis already has an impressive catalogue of music, both acoustic and electronic, under his belt. For Books of Silence he uses the musical forces of eight voices (from the Latvian Radio Choir), string quartet, flute, clarinet, horn and electronics to combin with sculpture from Latvia’s leading sculptor and real time visuals.
