La Casa de Max

Alejandro Bonatto | The Collective for Contemporary Music

Who is Max? Who lives with Max? Who can live with Max?

La Casa de Max is an electroacoustic-chamber opera inspired by the work of Julio Cortazar. An intimate piece, a whispering tale of the often unusual paths that our mind might take in order to deal with feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Surrounded yet alone…

Argentinian composer Alejandro Bonatto blends acoustic and electronics instruments as well as soundscapes, together with a tango bandoneon. His new musical score is intended to narrate a story of loneliness by using all current mediums of expression.

La Casa de Max is the debut piece of The Collective for Contemporary Music.
