Marta’s Garden – chamber opera written to Piotr Jasek’s libretto
for female voice, an actor, electronics and instruments. The piece was commissioned by the Polish Ministry of Culture. The first performance took a place at Mittedeutcheradio in Leipzig.

Libretto

The libretto is based on the themes in Piotr Jasek’s collection of stories entitled Expiry Date (Data Ważności). As the author writes, “The main plot is a story from a short story entitled Marta’s Garden (Ogród Marty). The form of this piece is almost a finished libretto with the original idea of narration. The two characters, a boy and girl, take part in a dialogue not spoken directly to each other but only directed towards the other person. It includes their dreams, thoughts and requests they would never dare to express to a loved one, even though they want their confessions to be heard and reciprocated.
