Meeresgeflüster

A cinematic music theatre for children and adults (from age 8).

"The sea is admirable: blue as a waltz; grey as a useless tin plate." (Claude Debussy).

 

"Meeresgeflüster" is a children's concert that has fallen into the sea. Two pianists on a dive explore the depths and vastness of the sea. The production works on several levels: Through the music we follow the infinite movement of the sea. Large-format video projections play with the musicians and tell stories in which the threat and transience of our environment shine through. At the same time, the interplay of both levels unfolds a dynamic, suggestive power that lets us dive into a deeper interpretation of Debussy's music.

Claude Debussy's impressionistic masterpiece "La Mer" (The Sea), set for four-hand piano by the composer, interpreted by the internationally renowned duo Jost Costa, surrounded by the associative visual worlds of video artist Katharina Wibmer, conjured up on stage by MEINHARDT&KRAUSS.
