New Approaches – Transdisciplinary Projects
Flying Mozart
Rundfunkchor Berlin meets Breaking in a powerful modern parable of life, death and hope:
»Flying Mozart« is a striking reinterpretation of Mozart’s Requiem, merging classical choral music with urban dance, electronic soundscapes and contemporary visual art.
Rote Messe
A performance of striking contrasts: Set against the raw, industrial backdrop of Berlin’s former three-phase power station MaHalla, we presented Gioachino Rossini’s »Petite Messe solennelle« in a bold production by Anna-Sophie Mahler. The result was a powerful reflection on our times — a narrative of shifting certainties, of threatened privilege, and a society on the verge of transformation.
human requiem
Rediscover the familiar: Together with Jochen Sandig and a team of the dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests Rundfunkchor Berlin stages a choreographed version of Brahms’ Requiem.
