Description Production of three monodramas, Arnold Schoenberg's 'Pierrot Lunaire' and Samuel Beckett's 'Not I' and 'Rockaby'.

"A dark stage, a woman and her voice — a sound that hovers somewhere between song and speech. With Pierrot Lunaire (1912), Not I (1972) and Rockaby (1981), Arnold Schoenberg and Samuel Beckett created pioneering monodramas in which language, music, and form break with conventions, coming closer together. Works thus tailor-made for the genre-bending iconoclasts Barrie Kosky and Dagmar Manzel."
