Kathrin Spaniol and Morgan Nardi develop works between social practice tests and installational experimental arrangements. In Masse in C-Moll, the audience becomes part of a system of seduction, resonance, and subtle manipulation: What happens when people start to align with one voice, one gesture, one will?

Jacques Tilly has politicised carnival. He uses the framework offered by Carnival Monday to stage his sharp and pointed ideology critique. In his picture presentation, he talks about his activities as well as about the most current political occurrences surrounding his work. Simultaneously, he will introduce his new book Wer hat Angst vor Pappmaché? during the evening.

Genetik Woyzeck by Harriet Maria & Peter Meining aka norton.commander.productions. translates Büchner’s classic into the media age in a genius manner: On stage, only a sofa. Actor Lars Rudolph sits down on it. He plays Woyzeck in a sensational solo performance – raw, eccentric, in conflict with himself and a star-studded video machinery.

At first, Lars Rudolph will be on the FFT stage as Woyzeck and will then go on to play a concert the next day. The music he creates together with Thilo Schölpen is described by the two of them as “a creature that can swallow a room”. The works for trumpets and piano combine openness and compositional precision.
