During the Opera Forward Festival 2021, seven spoken word artists responded to Kurt Weill’s The Seven Deadly Sins with performances of their own. In this video you can see the performance of the deadly sin ‘Envy’ by Houda Bibouda. “The deadly sin of envy makes me nauseous. I will not say the word easily, but perhaps you can read it in my eyes. Maybe I am so envious that I don’t want to feel it. An error occurs in my mind when I think about it. But now I am being put to the test. I think I am, envious.”
