opera – a future game
Let's play and lecture performance with Thomas Köck
In the programme accompanying Long Friday in September, the interactive installation opera - a future game with texts by playwright Thomas Köck and music by composer Eloain Lovis Hübner awaits you in the outer bailey of Hülshoff Castle. Thomas Köck will be a guest in the evening from 7 pm and will set the music for the music theatre essay live in his lecture performance.
In the project, the artists explore new forms of presentation in the genre of music theatre. At the same time, the aim is to test innovative interactions with the audience - from contemplation to participation, from collective experience to isolation as a politically explosive theme of our present. And all in a dystopian-futuristic setting and using a narrative style that draws on current popular film and gaming culture.
After a catastrophe, a choir finds itself in a desolate cultural landscape. In conversation with themselves and a cyborg, hauntings, individual and collective memories of real and longed-for events arise. The users wander through this landscape, which tells of the disappearance of the present. Meanwhile, viewers in the room can follow the events, comment on them and intervene.
