Peter Sellars: a little bit of politics
By: Nicholas Wroe
The great opera director Peter Sellars is tackling war, famine, farming and globalisation. He tells Nicholas Wroe why all he needed was a bit of Kafka and a housewife scrubbing a floor.

Except it’s difficult to know what African, or western, means any more. A few minutes after I started talking to the kora player, we realised we had both worked with the Berlin Philharmonic. And that was kind of perfect. The world really was connected.”
