Crisis within crisis within crisis within crisis: the world is experiencing meta-crises and the composer and her librettist, the Austrian writer Raphaela Edelbauer (a digital native through and through), take aim at social media as a contributory cause. The librettist's play with media over-saturation, excessive demands and fragmentation into aphoristic fragmentation is a perfect template for Margareta Ferek-Petrić and her long-cherished idea of a vocal chamber music theater.
