Resistance - when do we develop it, what opportunities does it offer? Resistance is a personal, social and political issue. The term is often misused. There are plenty of current occasions, from the pandemic to the mass protests, that must be questioned.

 

Based on a poem by Mireille Gansel. The work is an artistic research on the concept of resistance to divisive developments and aims to be both an encouragement and an invitation to take an active stand against injustice. It has the form of a departure in sound images.

​

Music is performed by Julia Giebel (soprano) and the unitedberlin ensemble under the direction of Erich Wagner.
