Notes Towards a Model Opera

William Kentridge’s Notes Towards a Model Opera (2014–15) is an 11-minute video work that pulses with visual ingenuity and historical resonance. Crafted for Beijing’s Ullens Center in 2015, it dissects the Cultural Revolution’s eight model operas—propaganda ballets and plays designed to forge Mao’s ideal revolutionary spirit. Kentridge transforms their rigid ideology into a fluid, multi-screen meditation on revolution’s dreams and failures, blending China’s past with global echoes.
