Kitchen scenes consists of 4 miniature operas. These miniatures do not tell one narrative, but rather four individual stories. Stories of characters who do not seem to have anything in common at first sight. It is the location in which the miniatures take place that connects these four characters. The location in question is ‘the kitchen’. The kitchen is the central spot of a house where everybody is drawn to. The spot where a great deal of daily and seemingly insignificant routines take place. The place where people discuss and process what has happened in life outside of the kitchen. These miniatures tell stories that could have occurred in anyones kitchen. More on: http://www.studiosalix.com/synopsis-en-programma/
