Music, sound design and light co-design for Bram Jansen’s take on Wolfram Lotz’ hit play about the meaning of life and theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The theater characters Lum and Purl Schweitzke question the reason for their existence. To have a child together \u2013 they decide \u2013 could give them a task and a meaning. But they soon discover that the play they are in does not intend for them to have a child. Instead the Master of Ceremonies takes over and gives representatives from history and media the opportunity to send messages into space through a special device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The researcher Rafinesque, the single parent Klaus Alberts, his daughter Hilda, a resurrected Kleist – they all appear and tell the story of their pain and failure, only to be asked to send a single final word into space. Wolfram Lotz dismantles the classic dramatic structure and re-assembles it. The search for the meaning of life and the desire to overcome the reality of death turn into a game with the structure of theater and its means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
