Wandering Lake - an atomic opera
An author production (Ho & Janssen) for WDR and Deutschlandfunk Kultur 2021
Composition/sound music: Echo Ho / Text/libretto: Ulrike Janssen /
Voices: Daniel Werner, Bettina Wenzel, Melanie Lüninghoener
In satellite images, the dried-up lake bed resembles an oversized ear shell. The „lake, into which many springs flow together,“ as its Mongolian name suggests, is located today in Xinjiang, an autonomous region in northwest China. In 1964, the Chinese central government conducted its first nuclear weapons tests north of the lake basin. The nuclear fallout spread like sound waves. Echo Ho and Ulrike Janssen follow the phases of a nuclear explosion in their audio piece. In doing so, the artists talk about the myths and relics of numerous civilizations that once lived on the shores of the lake.
