Abendzauber
In the organizer's words:
"Hope is the muscle that makes it possible to connect." - Björk
Anton Bruckner meets Björk in an immersive music theater installation.
"Who could ever forget the blissful place!" In the spirit of Romanticism, Bruckner saw nature as a pure spiritual source of renewal. It was an escape from the fumes of the growing industrial centers. But what does the state of nature say about people in an age of radical climate change and natural disasters? Will future generations remember this enchanting place that nature once was? Abendzauber is an immersive installation at the Mischanlage Essen. Director Krystian Lada and Chorwerk Ruhr bring together two different musical styles to explore the pressing questions of our time. What is the impact of mankind on nature? The rarely performed secular choral works of Anton Bruckner are combined with songs by Björk . The Icelandic artist succeeds effortlessly in combining avant-garde and pop music elements. Caroline Shaw and Marc Schmolling have arranged Björk's songs especially for Chorwerk Ruhr.
