About this event

The production is categorized as Musiktheater and is framed through the political and cultural atmosphere of the early Federal Republic after the 1968 generation had changed public life. It refers to free love, long hair, drugs, and a moment when avant-garde art and the working class appeared unusually close to one another. Its artistic subject is the turn in 1970s New Music toward agitprop, contrasting earlier experimental sound practices with a desire to address the wider world. Nicolaus A. Huber is the named historical and compositional focus; the source states that he toured for the DKP with a theatre troupe, carrying workers' songs, grotesque texts, and circus material through the political landscape of the Federal Republic. Felix Barsky is credited with musical direction, Moritz Warnecke with direction, Katharina Oleksinska with Ausstattung, and Felix Linsmeier with dramaturgy.
