Banana on a Billboard or Everything for Sale

Summary/Abstract: Review of Igor Stravinsky’s opera The Rake’s Progress, directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski at the Staatsoper Berlin (premiere: 10 December 2010). The author begins the text with a reminder of Stravinsky’s source of inspiration, the eight copperplate engravings created by William Hogarth in 1735. Krzywicka-Kaindel shows how Warlikowski has contemporised the reality of the text, applying an aesthetic inspired by both the road movie and Big Brother. In the author’s opinion, Warlikowski, by applying a trashy morality play key to the interpretation of Stravinsky’s opera, has created a delightful spectacle, glistening “like the coloured slides in an amused child’s kaleidoscope”.
