Premiere

Leonce und Lena

Thom Luz, director-in-residence at Theater Basel, uses the dreamy final scene in Büchner’s ambiguous play as the starting point of a new piece of music theatre and paves his own way through its desperate, yet cheerful, world.

Premiere

Paradiso

Hell is a piece of functional architecture invented by humans, so perhaps we should break it up into its individual parts and put them together again. An experimental version of paradise drawn from the raw material, musical remains and props of the production ‘Inferno’ that premiered in January.
