Opera in One Act (2022)
Music by Daniel Taborda Higuita
Libretto by Daniel Taborda Higuita and David Ignacio Molina
Duration: approximately 35 minutes
“Inside the mind, there are no walls, only echoes.”
Mental Demons is an opera that confronts the fragile border between belief and psychosis. The story follows Anael, a man tormented by unseen voices that may be demons or may be symptoms of his own mind. The work invites each listener to decide whether the drama unfolds within the soul or the psyche, creating a powerful reflection on faith, guilt, and mental health.
The libretto, written in Spanish and English, blends biblical references, psychological language, and dream imagery to form a text that is both poetic and disturbing. The dialogue between Anael and his inner voices draws from the seven deadly sins, shaping a narrative where theology and psychiatry collide. The opera ends in silence and ambiguity, leaving the audience to confront its own interpretation of salvation and despair.
