DER REIGEN Ein überaus schönes Lied vom Tod

In the organizer's words:

Inviting, brash, grinning, making music and dancing grotesquely - this is how Death is portrayed as a man of bones in the medieval Danse Macabre. Opposite him - man: questioning, hesitating, pausing in a gesture. Since then, numerous variations of the dance of death have shaped man's artistic confrontation with death, but all designs ultimately reflect the incomprehensibility of this moment: one's own encounter with death.

Artists from different genres, cultures and generations share their ideas, fears and strategies for living with the certainty of death. In a round dance of images, movement, words and sound, the same moment is played out in different modes: "mysterious", "majestically carried", "in delicate tones, barely touched", "melancholic", "excited, frivolous, dance-like" are the instructions.

And... in the end, we can witness an immortality: The crude Punch and the death-longing Pierrot demonstrate how death can be outwitted.
