Trumpetist

With Cobra, John Zorn, arguably the most famous representative of the revolutionary American downtown scene of the 80s and 90s, created a true classic of the late 20th century. This "game piece" for improvising musicians and a prompter doesn't use traditional notation, but rather a system of cards and rules. The title is inspired by a strategy game. Groups around the world continue to gather to explore new interpretations of the composition.

Das MuTh

“I was already warned that I would have to fear for my life,” Carmen declares—foreseeing her own doom—in the finale of Bizet’s “opera of all operas” (as Nietzsche once called it). A few minutes later, she is dead, stabbed by the man who was still her lover only moments before, the soldier Don José. The team behind Killing Carmen—Nils Strunk, Lukas Schrenk, and Gabriel Cazes—asked themselves from which perspective this opera, after its many adaptations (including pop-cultural ones) throughout the 20th century, could be retold once again. These three exceptional artists, who for years have devoted themselves to daring and high-energy reinterpretations of the classics, continue the opera’s story: What happened after Carmen’s murder? What void did she leave behind?
