Team. Davor Vincze has received several important awards as a composer. His music is performed by important contemporary music ensembles (including Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Klangforum Wien). Aleksandar Hut Kono published two volumes of poetry, which were awarded several prizes in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. Heinrich Horwitz works as a director, actor and choreographer. Various projects have already involved him with renowned composers and music ensembles.
Project. The project focuses on the question of how we construct “reality” from an existing flood of contradictory information. Digital media appear on an equal footing with the stage, and the stage and film events are supplemented by additional information that the audience receives via smartphone, leading them to contradictory perspectives on the plot and characters. The premiere in Gelsenkirchen will be followed by further development in Bremen and Darmstadt in the same season.
