Audio-Visual Scenography / Conception & Media Installations | April 2011 | Kunsthaus Rhenania | Köln (Germany)
W.G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz tracks the journey of self-discovery, a search for both identity and memories, undertaken by it’s protagonist Jacques Austerlitz. His search for identity is implemented dramaturgically as a Stationendrama (station-drama) of the most important places in his self-discovery and consists of nine installation-based substations.
An intermedia staging of the play is created that will develop a new theatrical form between performance and theatre, artistic installation, video art & experimental sound. Within this, a narrator represents the principal guiding force, leading the audience chronologically through the action. The dramaturgic sequence is like a journey through the landscape of the protagonist’s soul.
More information on the collaborative project here. Austerlitz is conducted with the following cooperators:

Visual Scenography for Play, Concert & Dance | July 16th & 17th 2010 | SHMF 2010, Ernst Deutsch Theater | Hamburg (Germany)
Over centuries most various utopias describe Arcadia as a place of idyll, of holistic individual and societal satisfaction. In Arkadien, by Franz Siebert & Peter Schmidt, a collage of diverse artistic disciplines shows Arcadia not only as a harmonious or idyllic world, but as a scene of intensively experienced moments, performed as an intentionally fragmented and suggestive compilation of lyrics, dance and varied musical parts.
Arkadien was performed within the Schleswig Holstein Music Festival 2010 at the Ernst Deutsch Theatre in Hamburg. Continuative information at shmf.de. Click here for a german review by “Die Welt”.
