摘要

IN A PRISON outside Istanbul, Osman, an inmate held in solitary confinement, finds two snails nestled in his lunch. Longing for company, he decides to look after the gastropods, feeding them lettuce and rice. The snails reward him-with a song. "In some kitchens, we'd end up in a pot with garlic butter and seasoning," they chant. "Our luck to be here with Osman, a man of such honour and reason." But even a snail is bound to find prison life dreary. "It's all very slow," one sings, "even for me." So begins a ten-minute video opera, "Osman Bey and the Snails", produced by Opera Circus, a performing-arts company based in Britain. It is a tribute, based on a true story, to Osman Kavala, a businessman, philanthropist and one of Turkey's best-known political prisoners. Mr Kavala has spent nearly three years behind bars on outlandish coup and terrorism charges.
