The Vanishings project does not simply juxtapose these elements; it makes them interact. The staging and musical direction seek to weave a dramatic thread between these fragments of stories. Little by little, Janácek’s tenor voice seems to summon Adès’ songs, like reminiscences or echoes of the future.
