Victory over the Sun

"Victory over the Sun" is a groundbreaking opera created in 1913 by composer Igor Stravinsky and artist Kazimir Malevich, emblematic of the Russian avant-garde movement. It reflects a radical break from traditional artistic norms, embracing abstraction and innovation. The work combines music, visual art, and performance to depict a cosmic struggle where the Sun, representing oppressive forces, is ultimately defeated by new, liberated ideas. The production’s bold, geometric designs and unconventional narrative symbolize a shift towards modernism in art and culture, highlighting a desire for a new world order free from past constraints.
