Peter Maxwell Davies's one hour monodrama The Medium is a tour-de-force not only for the singer, but also for the audience. Starting out, as it seems, as a seance, the performance becomes more and more ambiguous. Is the medium an impostor or a madwoman? And whose story does she tell? The Medium is, apart from being a most intelligently plotted composition, a glance into the human abyss.

Anne-May Krüger demonstrated all facets of her art and stunned the audience until the very last minute. Marcelo Cardoso Gama‘s staging does without all superfluous theatrical effects and creates madness through verismo. Krüger is acting on a platform no bigger than a conductor‘s stand and still creates enough space within herself to let madness take over little by little, pulling the spectators into her imagined world.
