Release of My New Opera to a Libretto by Friederike Mayröcker

Gertude Stein hat die Luft gemalt

20 Dec 2025 - 14:00

Melodrama based on Friederike Mayröcker's (1924-2021) text "Gertrude Stein painted the air". Friederike Mayröcker is considered one of the greatest German-speaking language artists of the 20th/21st century. From the libretto specially authorized by Ms. Mayröcker for this work flows a wealth of pictorial-surreal scenes that are not causally connected. The main character constantly dissolves into other characters from multiple perspectives in imaginary encounters. The highly experienced director of modern musical theatre, Cornelia Heger, conceived the decisive impulses and overall structure for the work, in which the libretto is only spoken (melodrama), thus forming an attractive point of friction with the music, which is at times strongly characterized by its pulse. Over a particularly warm ensemble sound of accordion, piano, vibraphone, strings and clarinets, the text unfolds its full, surreal, dream-like pull.

The work is still unfinished and currently exists as a fragment consisting of the overture and the "first scene".

It is available on all platforms.

Without Papers

Object Theater by and With Sophie Bartels

Schloßstraße 22, 06406 Bernburg (Saale), Deutschland

18 Oct 2021 - 17:00

This wonderful piece, to which I was allowed to contribute two arrangements for music box, tells about the life of two people on the run: the philosopher Walter Benjamin and the resistance fighter Lisa Fittko. At a time when there was little security, they - like many others - became "sans papiers", people without papers. The production tells of life in exile, of solidarity and resistance and the courage of those who dare to face injustice.

After the Schaubühne Berlin, the production can now also be seen at the Wildwechsel Theater Festival.
