Look at me!

Musical theater. World premiere.

Co-production of Theater Freiburg with the University of music Freiburg and the academy of performing arts Baden-Württemberg in collaboration with the ABK Stuttgart.

 

 

LOOK AT ME! interweaves three very different literary and musical works of art: "The Kabbalist from East Broadway" by Isaac B. Singer meets scenes from "Alcina" by Georg Friedrich Händel and from "Malina" by Ingeborg Bachmann. Megalomaniacal self-construction, paralyzing projections, missed encounters, and the struggle to construct an identity as well as its loss, preoccupy protagonists and authors of this creation alike.

It is an evening of the next generation: Céline Steiner and Ruslan Khazipov, two students of the composition class of Prof. Brice Pauset at the University of Music Freiburg, make their premier as music theater composers with their settings of the texts by Singer and Bachmann. Johann Diel, student at the Academy of performing arts Baden-Württemberg and participant of the Körber Studio Young directors program 2018, is the promising young director who developed and staged this complex piece. The musical direction is provided by Prof. Brice Pauset together with conducting student Kieran Staub. Students of the vocal classes will sing accompanied by members of the University Orchestra of the University of Music Freiburg.
