How can one move on when the worst has happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe protagonist Maria has survived a natural disaster in which her family perished. From this trauma, she only remembers fragments. But her shadow side, \u201dThe Other\u201d, a figure with mythical connections, remembers and drives Maria out of her own and the world’s denial to confront her loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Drifted” is a descent drama in ritual form about guilt and reconciliation, and about the path of grief towards being able to continue living when that which has given life meaning is gone. The theme has both contemporary relevance and timeless dimensions. The opera ends on a bright note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
