New piece of music theatre by Anna-Sophie Mahler and Viola Köster with participation of Experimentalchor alte Stimmen and Domchor Koeln, actors of Schauspiel Koeln, under the musical direction of Michael Wilhelmi and me.
We talk to people from the construction industry and urban development, with economists, futurologists and activists about the existing plans for a futureproof Cologne – and about the resistance they encounter. And from the quotations they have provided, a music theatre work is created by Cologne residents for Cologne, a vocal concert for three actors, two Cologne choirs and a city of the future.
