Rio Wolta takes us back to the Belle Epoque
Out of nowhere Rio Wolta announced his new work today. It’s called 'Belle Epoque' and it’s set for January 2021.
This is a kind of musical and visual concept work, about which the following information is available so far:
We are in the 1970s. Mr. and Mrs. Swiss are skiing, the winters are white, the future rosy. Switzerland celebrates its national sport and enjoys the last post-war prosperity boom. People are carefree, fearless and full of confidence. Vacations are spent at home, the domestic ski industry is flourishing and the ski resorts are far from being dependent on money from foreign investors. "Villagers" is about life in the mountains and fleeing from it, "Apollo" about perseverance in economically meagre times, "Youth" about the searching youth and "Karantain" about waking up when a beautiful time comes to an abrupt end.
