theater & music

„Music has to be called the universal language of mankind,
by which the huming feeling can express itself
to all hearts in the same understandable manner.“

Franz Liszt

The connection which probably in all cultures is as old as theatre itself: choir, singing, dance, rhythm were and still are basic moments of the dramaturgy and production and in ithe meantime also in many theatre workshops. Music addresses the emotional level of our perceptions, creates atmospheres, involves spectators into the event, provides tension, relaxation, mourning and joy.

Music illustrates movement, social origin, can let become alive a certain time. Music creates space: an empty black stage transforms with music into a royal ballroom, hell or the sky. We work with "soundful silence" or "roaring emptiness".
Even in our language you can find music. Our everyday life today is full of music, there is hardly a place in which music would not be present. Which function does it fulfill it thereby and where does it become simply too much for us? That also applies to the theatre, a straining of musical elements can lead a production or a workshop to the failure.

Sufficient questions to set us intensively apart with the topic theatre & music in the
22nd Theatertage am See.

We invite children, youth, school and amateur theatre groups from all over Europe to the Theatre Days on the Lake Constance.
