Octavia. Trepanation, an opera directed by Boris Yukhananov and composed by Dmitri Kourliandski, marked the first time that the Holland Festival had mounted a co-production with a Russian theatre. The premiere took place as part of the main program of the 70th anniversary running of the Holland Festival in June 2017 on the stage of Muziekgebouw, Europe’s largest platform for the performance of contemporary music. Octavia. Trepanation is a musical reflection on the theme of violence and tyranny. The libretto is based on a 1924 essay by Leon Trotsky about Lenin and fragments of a play attributed to Seneca about the Roman emperor Nero.

THE PRODUCTION FOCUSES ON THE CENTENNIAL OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, BUT NOT IN THE SENSE OF GLORIFYING IT, OR AS AN APOTHEOSIS OF IT. THIS IS A GENERATIONAL PRODUCTION, A MESSAGE FROM THOSE BORN IN THE NINETIES, WHO STUDIED FROM TEXTBOOKS WHERE THE GREAT OCTOBER HAS ALREADY BEEN DUBBED A COUP. BOTH CONTEXTUALLY, AND FORMALLY THIS PRODUCTION REPRESENTS THOSE WHO ARE SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS THE UNWHIPPED GENERATION.
