Great voyages like that of Odysseus have become central epics of Western culture. What relevance do they have in our modern society? A collective of artists led by the world music band Quadro Nuevo explored these questions. The answers are neither scientific nor political, but artistic and therefore capable of triggering emotion and empathy in the viewer.
In their search for clues, musicians, word and image designers, photographers and filmmakers embarked on a productive process lasting several weeks, creatively condensed, sailing through the realms of ancient stories. From the Aegean Sea past Sicily to the Aeolian Islands. Along the way, songs, photos, a book and videos were created and subsequently the release of a new album by Quadro Nuevo. An exhibition will be held in the Barocksaal to accompany their concert in the Silbersaal on April 17.
