Sounding Elements in the Scenography

At two doors in the scenery these mechanical instruments are installed. While opening or closing the door, you can here a chord.

On top in the middle of the shelf you can see the second mechanical string instrument.

By opening or closing one of the sliding doors in the scenery, two metal shelf brackets are mechanically chipped. This creates a bell-like sound. .

Inside of this trashcan another effect speaker is hidden.

One more effect speaker in a housing of an old Volksempfänger. View from behind.

Press Reviews

Adolf Hitler: Mein Kampf, Band 1&2 (Radioplay)

The radio play is neither a Hitler biography nor an exegesis of the inflamtory writings. It tells rather remarkable stories that deal with our present and our handling of history. And is thus a successful contribution in the attempt to demystify Mein Kampf. (Süddeutsche Zeitung, July 2016)
