PRESSE
„Diese Theatertrilogie schuf, obwohl sie nur virtuell stattfinden konnte, tiefe Verbundenheit. Sie zeigte, mehr als reale Vorstellungsabende es vermögen, wie sehr Musik und Theater wahrhaftig Seelsorge leisten können, zeigte wie mitteilungsbedürftig die Menschen aktuell sind, zeigte aber auch, dass viele für die Entscheidungen dieser Zeit nicht bereit sind. Ganz so, wie wir es dieser Tage von den Politikerinnen und Politikern dieses Landes erleben.“ nmz von Konstantin Parnian
A musical metamorphosis
We have let go of the old, we have changed within ourselves. The interactive-performative journey in digital format that we embarked on with MOON MUSIC is now coming to an end. And this conclusion will be a very special one, because it does not end anything. Instead, we venture a new beginning….
MOON MUSIC III: NEUBEGINN with musicians* of the STEGREIF.orchester asks questions about acceptance, own responsibility, courage – and last but not least about what we are willing to sacrifice (for spring). With new compositions and improvisations inspired by the sounds of Igor Stravinsky and Carl Orff, we celebrate the last ritual for spring at the destination of the journey: In the Princess Gardens. Since 2019, this place in the New St. Jacobi Cemetery not only commemorates those who have died, but also celebrates (re)awakening life in lived utopia – in urban community, sustainable awareness and connection to nature.
Instead of saving the old king and his traditions, the viewers in MOON MUSIC I and II voted democratically behind the screens last: For the death of the old ruler and for the risk of a new way. In addition to the king, we were accompanied by jesters, the moon and a mysterious bird.
Will they now herald a new age? And furthermore: a new beginning, what can that actually be?
