The Devil’s Kitchen was the original working title of this techno Sprechoper (spoken opera), later renamed FEED // a_social_opera. The concept, however, remains in essence unchanged and is shared in these pages as originally developed by Nicodemus.

Our aim has been to create an imagined world in word and sound that enables us to engage not only artistically and aesthetically, but also critically and ethically, with the increasing fragmentation and polarisation of society at a time of global crisis. |
The work is divided into five acts. It tells the story of four individuals who, independently of one another, set out in a dark world full of hate and anger to find a long-lost 'urtext of human coexistence' and in the process cross paths time and again within a variety of different settings. What kinds of texts/fragments they ultimately find and how this affects them, both personally and in their relationships to one another, will emerge in the process of developing and rehearsing the piece.
