The Victory over the Sun (2015)

Contemporary Museum of Art Lima Peru

​

Victory over the Sun, the first futurist opera, appeared two days in December 1913 at Luna Park Theatre in St. Petersburg. The opera was considered a work of art, a piece of "theater integration," was one of the first signs of performance and multidisciplinary collaboration. Victory over the Sun pointed to "the victory over the past," in the words of Mikhail Matyushin (composer of this opera), "the victory over the ancient and deeply rooted idea that the Sun is equal to beauty, represented an illusory cosmogony by Romanticism.
