BED ON MATS, THE AUDIENCE DIVERSE INTO A MONUMENTAL NIGHT SPACE WITH THE KLANGFORUM WIEN.
While falling asleep, just before the subconscious takes over the scepter, the still lucid mind holds the key to a time-forgotten world full of wisdom, fantasy and fear. Bedded on mats, the audience is immersed in a monumental night space with the Klangforum Wien and follows composers with an affinity for night and darkness on different paths into this unfathomable intermediate realm.
