A metaphor for all the wars waged today in an ever changing and frightening world

Hannibal, by Michael De Cock and Junior Mthombeni, is a contemporary opera that reinterprets Dido and Aeneas by composer Henry Purcell.

In this piece about war, Michael De Cock and Junior Mthombeni capture the metropolitan setting in a form of musical theatre that mixes urban arts and musical traditions from all continents. A production that examines the importance of being inspired by people, movements and events from the recent past.

Hannibal is a coproduction of KVS and the TNC that comes to Barcelona after its premiere in Brussels.
