It is based on the homonymous novel by Henry James, where Britten takes refuge in the characters, several ghosts of them, to present a play with a current theme child abuse and adult sexuality.
“Both the work and the music, where the conception of this scenic setting begins, aims to reflect the universe of fears, desires, more hidden fantasies and the personal ghosts of the human being, raw material of the fundamental questions of our existence and our death, a possible response to the concerns of the soul ”said the scenic director of the opera The Turn of the Screw, Ramiro Gutiérrez.

It is a work that is timeless, since it will give way to ambiguity; This will make the viewer forge an opinion of their own. The treatment of space as a shady, deep, dark and dark place gives the necessary nuances to generate that personal opinion to the viewer.

The use of disproportionate shadows will star in the scenario as these are the ones that lurk the performers, as it is the manifestation of their dark sides.
