Heiner Goebbels: On the Polyphony of Collaboration
lecture
German composer and theatre director Heiner Goebbels compares the collaborative work in an artistic and technical theatre team with the musical term polyphony - as a texture of several simultaneous lines of independent melodies. With sound and videoexamples of his celebrated music theatre productions he will underline the necessities of mutual trust as much as individual autonomy as a condition for unintentional counterpoints between what we see and what we hear.
