Find your Darlings

In the organizer's words:

Connection is what we have found helpful and can offer in these challenging times and omnipresent crises. That's why we want to cultivate it with you. We collect particularly impressive, resonant, performative moments (aka "darlings") that have (been) important for you. It would be wonderful if you could look for such a special moment in your memory. Whether funny, sad, magical, touching, bizarre. Whether you were in the audience or on stage, Love Your Darlings is a planned live collection of utopian and magical moments and scenes from performative works by other groups or individual artists. For us, the exit from the compulsion to produce new works and the creative handling of existing performances, including those from other labels, is artistically implemented sustainability. To this end, we have been conducting extensive screening, networking (with visits to network meetings, festival visits and soon an open call via partners such as LFDK, Kölner Initiative Musiktheater and VdK) and research since the beginning of 2024. We call this research Find Your Darlings. This content has been machine translated.
