Concept I Artistic direction

Eleven people standing in a room and waiting for an eternity. Or very briefly. Out of the silence a choir grows, and the journey begins. What awaits the group at the end of the journey? Based on the poem “Ithaka” by Konstantinos Kavafis, the cross-age group of people between 16 and 75 years of age dealt with the topic of dreams. The participants improvised, experimented with movement and sounds, wrote their own texts, and sang songs. Various dream sequences presented the stages of a journey with fluid boundaries between time, space, reality, and longing.
