No singer can ignore the dramatically dying woman; she owns the most famous arias in opera history. Maria Callas also died many times in her career. The performance icon Marina Abramović takes seven of her operatic deaths as a starting point: she detaches them from the plot and experiences them herself, projected on a video screen. Each time the artist is killed in a different way. The aesthetically exaggerated pain ritualizes and stylizes the Callas' love and death into a myth. At the same time as the video, seven sopranos will sing the famous Callas arias live. At the end of the evening, Abramović himself is on stage when it comes to the death of Maria Callas and reality and her portrayal merge. In 7 DEATHS OF MARIA CALLAS the Serbian artist deconstructs the opera and places it in dialogue with performance art: as her personal homage to one of the greatest singers of the time, but also as a snapshot of a life for art; along with the pain and fascination it can cause.

Marina Abramović, who was born in what was then Yugoslavia, has had a major impact on the international art scene and, above all, performance art since the 1970s. Her partner in this production is the American film actor Willem Dafoe, known among other things for his portrayal of Vincent van Gogh in "At Eternity's Gate" and his membership in the Wooster Group. The new composition by the young Serbian Marko Nikodijević complements the original arias from the seven operas.
