Almost did not make it to the performance as I was too busy trying to blog the event that had already started!! The Ropac gallery was packed and there were people outside as it was too crowded, luckily as I arrived Terence, covered in a white sheet went in, I went in right behind him and managed to make it all the way to the front.
The 1st act of Adansonias, a tragic opera in 8 acts, was done in 15 mystical minutes. Terence Koh entered the gallery to the end commenced his opera, though I could not figure out the language in which he was singing, but the opera surtitles were as they say in French “ludique”. The stage was all in white including the piano, white is after all a signature element in Koh’s work.
He then moved back in to the crowd and went to the front a couple of times throughout the performance. Interesting fact, his family were part of the performance. The amazing costumes which Terence designed were done by Delphine Delafon.
It was obviously the art event of the week designer Rick Owens, Stefano Tonchi from the New York Times; celebrity Dita Von Teese were present amongst many, many other fashion world personalities.

Here the text of ACT 1:
Time: A Night, 1968
Place: A secret Desert in Paris

It is exactly midnight and the moon has completely disappeared
The Little Prince is standing in the middle of a desert made of salt.
He sings songs to himself, below an empty Parisian sky.
He sings;
O, so quietly
O; so quietly,
About his loneliness, his curiosity, his anger, his individuality.
Songs that are echoes of the darkness.
Or is it the brightness?
Or is it the brightness?

I sea nothing.
