Prisoner of the State tells the story of a woman who disguises herself as a prison guard to rescue her husband from unjust political imprisonment, with a libretto by the composer that refers self-consciously to Beethoven’s Fidelio.Pulitzer Prize winning American composer David Lang was inspired to write the piece by what he felt to be the unrealized potential in Fidelio’s narrative.

Performed exclusively in Rotterdam, it is a dark and futuristic rendition of Beethoven’s opera, uniting the narrative and the ideas into the inseparable whole of its performance.

🎟️ We have limited tickets for a special discount: €8 with an ESNcard (or €10 without) [tickets are normally €15 – 35!!]

🔗 Get your ticket here.

Film Special: Babylon
2023-05-10 19:00 - 22:30
*This event will now take place at the Erasmus Pavilion Theatre*

Together with Studium Generale, we invite you to our last film night on campus for this season. We will go out with a bang with the over-the-top film Babylon. 🎥🍿

A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, Babylon traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood. The film is directed by Damien Chazelle, who made Whiplash and La La Land before.

Babylon is a big, crazy, messy, glorious movie. It paints an eye-opening, alarming, sometimes awe-inspiring, and sometimes horrifying look at Hollywood during the late 1920s and early 1930s, featuring a large group of characters whose lives are all drastically changed during their time in the film industry. It aims to do so much over three hours that some may feel like it’s an unwieldy mass of contradictions and clashing tones, but for those who can get on the film’s wavelength, it’s incredible.
