Yeah, yeah, Bielefeld doesn\u2019t exist. And Bielefeld does exist after all. I can promise you: I\u2019m here. And I\u2019ll be here for the next four weeks.<\/p>\n

On February 21, we will premiere KASSANDRA<\/strong> by Christa Wolf. With Christina Huckle as Kassandra, directed by Nadja Loschky, who is also the artistic director here, in the adaptation by Yvonne Gebauer and Nadja.<\/p>\n

And of course \u2013 yes \u2013 the music is conceived by me. But not only by me, rather above all by my composition partner Stefan Behrisch.<\/p>\n

And in fact, the whole thing is a team effort anyway: Mathis Meyer on cello, improvising through the evening, connecting everything; J\u00f6rg H\u00fcttner in the composition team, responsible for synthesis and electronic sound spaces; and the whole thing is held together by our musical director Anne Hinrichsen, who conducts it.<\/p>\n

This is not classical drama and not classical music theatre. It is a dramatic monologue with orchestra and choir \u2013 exactly the kind of format that is actually not foreseen in the logic of theatre institutions.<\/p>\n

When Nadja asked me whether I wanted to do this, I had serious reservations. Not because I didn\u2019t want to \u2013 on the contrary. I\u2019ve been dreaming for years of truly bringing drama and music theatre together. But I also know how differently these two fields function, organisationally, structurally, mentally.<\/p>\n

And then I came here for the first preliminary meetings and found a theatre that has not been voted Theatre of the Year more than once without reason. I understood very quickly why.<\/p>\n

People here actually want to make something. They don\u2019t complain that there is no bound score, only a loose-leaf collection. Everyone knows that this is risky. And everyone is willing to take exactly that risk.<\/p>\n

Rehearsals have been running for two weeks. I was in Munich for a few days in between. And from tomorrow on, the final sprint begins: four weeks until the premiere.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m curious.<\/p>\n
