The people in Handel’s 18th century opera, based on true events, are caught up between power and stubbornness, love and desire, madness and constancy: In the 14th century Timur-Leng, leader of the Mongolian army, thrashed the Osmanian Sultan Bajezid I, who was reported to have faced his conquerer with dignity and pride. A conflict between two rulers acting according to different codes of honour and the development of a strong female character escalates until the work culminates in a dramatic suicide that challenges the conventional lieto fine of opera seria.

The director R.B. Schlather, set and costume designers Paul Steinberg and Doey Lüthi, transformed the Bockenheimer Depot into a playing field for a dynamic experiment between singers, orchestra and audience. They bring us up close with a situation where private and politics clash, stable power relations are shaken, and rationality goes out of the window.
