A Chapter in the Life of Viola Hammer
Nina Nastasia’s radical take on the rock opera, A Chapter in the Life of Viola Hammer is an emotional odyssey, accompanied by a full concept album.
As Viola Hammer’s story unfolds, she navigates life trapped in the web of a coercive, abusive partner, bound to him for decades before unraveling into freedom. Performers use movement, projections and puppetry to bring Viola and her husband to life, set against Nina’s powerful music, live musicians, and an orchestra, it’s a breathtaking theatrical spectacle.
