iOpera - WOMAN OF CAIN by Fredrik Högberg
The worlds´ first interactive opera house, iOpera, presents the newly written opera "Woman of Cain" by Swedish composer Fredrik Högberg. The opera Woman of Cain is based upon what is not told in the bible. As we all know, Genesis tells the story of the first human beings on Earth: Eve, Adam and their sons Cain and Abel. Suddenly another person enters the scene, apparently from nowhere: the woman of Cain. Apart from the facts that she saw her husband, conceived and bared a son, her origin and identity have yet remained untold. Until now.
The woman of Cain is a story about the people who believed they were the first and only; a drama about truth and lies, denied and forbidden love, the everlasting dream of a paradise and human struggle to control life itself.
The opera opens with the aged Enoch, son of Cain, who finally must face the unavoidable: to write down the true story of his first own origin, how it all began.
Enoch´s narrative forms the frame story, completed with flashbacks on life in Paradise before his birth, and his youth when the very first city has just been built.
