Two singer-musicians and a video-guitarist play with arias from well-known operas. On a journey of discovery through the senses, they search together for a solution to the tickling problem of Nose. What’s wrong? Mouth, Ear and Eye try to sniff sniff their way through the mystery.
Can a nose on a cell phone really smell? Can you kiss a virtual mouth? What does a television hear?
Freely inspired by Gogol’s ‘Nose’ and a musical selection from Purcell, Offenbach, Gershwin, Handel, Delibes, Bizet, Shostakovich
