About the show
Prodigy composers Mozart and Salieri are reincarnated as modern-day DJs. After 200 years, Salieri is still trying to escape from the harsh reality of being second best of all time. Personalities inside Salieri - the fearful Aidas, the enthusiastic Shunhan, logical Buuri, and the music loving Huu are drowning in jealousy as they discuss the nature of talent.
Director's note:
Inspired by Puskin’s Mozart and Salieri (1830), Amadeus is a German expressionist approach to express the Salieri's feelings using 5 different emotions. A multidisciplinary performance event with original electronic music.
Temuulen Jargalsaikhan is an emerging filmmaker, actor, and director hailing from Mongolia. He has experience working on international productions from Germany, Italy, and Australia, establishing himself as a versatile professional in the film and theatre industry.
