New Songs from the Earth

NEUKÖLLNER OPER BERLIN

Today, Mahler's orchestral song cycle is set in a world in which artists of all countries and languages have to deal with global environmental destruction and war.

But instead of saying goodbye to this world, we want to think further about Mahler's work: how can a "song" sound today and who would sing it?

In workshops spread over the year and in a stage work developed from them, Neuköllner Oper and the STEGREIF.orchester research, compose, write poetry and perform new songs, music, songs and scenes, together with authors from the project "WeiterSchreiben", the House for Poetry and as well as experts from the School for Sustainable Development Eberswalde and the Institut for Transformative Sustainability Research Potsdam.
