Hèctor Parra | Less Than a Breath | 13 January 2026
The voice of an undocumented immigrant is heard through a flute in this “opera without a singer” by Héctor Parra. The title is a quotation from the final story in Trois Femmes Puissantes by Marie NDiaye, a writer who has collaborated with the Catalan composer. The debate on the collective vulnerability of a world in crisis and the right to dream also runs through the score of Ângela da Ponte’s State of (f) Emergencies. The programme is rounded off with works by Clara Iannotta and Ann Cleare, composers who explore sound in its physical and perceived dimensions, between matter and space.
