Notes: | after words by Elias Caneti | |||||
Synopsis: | The audience remains in the handsome playhouse, while the drama's aging professor leaves the stage and disappears into the night followed by a cameraman. From there, a wonderfully synchronised combination of live and recorded film, performance, projection and live music brings us the character's resonating, existentialist and quasi-surreal musings. - Brown, Sunday Herald. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | This is the U.S. premiere of this sonic performance landscape created vt created by the innovative German composer/director Heiner Goebbels. Stifters Dinge unfolds on a set of bare trees surrounded by industrial construction. Five pianos, stripped of their covers, are suspended sideways above the stage. Across this bizarre landscape, the pianos play by themselves, fog rises, rain falls, water bubbles, objects move mysteriously, or are set in motion by robot-like apparatuses which create sound effects. Idealized paintings of nature are projected. The score, performed in real-time and recorded, has original music by Goebbels, selections from classical music, jazz works, and traditional chants from South America and Papua New Guinea. Recorded fragments of texts from Adalbert Stifter's novels, excerpts from an interview with 20th-century anthropologist/social philosopher Claude Levi-Strauss, and quotations from speeches and writings of other modern writers and thinkers, are woven throughout. Goebbels's intention is for the individual audience member to encounter these disparate elements ("dinge" or "things") and for the "accumulation" of all the visual and aural experiences to shape the meaning each person "composes." | |||||
