'And I dread sinking into the vertigo of unconsciousness, into the well of oblivion' …

Premiered in 2010, Kaija Saariaho's dramatically charged monodrama Émilie draws inspiration from the life, and the final writings, of Émilie du Châtelet, an extraordinary mathematician, scientist, and philosopher. Unfolding as a stream of consciousness narrative, a series of vignettes during her ultimately fatal pregnancy, Émilie gives an incisive, haunting voice to women's experiences of rage, elation, grief, and despair in a society unwilling to hear them.

In a concert performance, The Cooperative is delighted to present the Australian premiere of this incredible work, re-envisaged for five singers, and performed by an outstanding cast and orchestral ensemble. All profits taken from admission will support organisations working for the advancement of women's health and wellbeing, in Australia and globally.

Conductor: Joanna Drimatis

Cast:

Hannah Burton

Elizabeth Cooper

Joanna Dionis Ross

Kirralee Hillier

Xiaoxu Aleta Shang
