William Kentridge Flute is a dense collection of essays, photographs and images tracking the internationally famous South African artist's explorations into and production of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Kentridge's production of the opera premiered in Brussels in 2002, and FLUTE was launched in South Africa to celebrate the opera's African premiere in Cape Town. The book is packed with full color illustrations, photographs from the stage productions, pages from Kentridge's preparatory journals and numerous reproductions of the drawings and print works that spilled out of the artist's studio and onto the stage.
