“Requiem for Democracy” Participatory liturgical performance

In the performative liturgy, sound artist Marc Weiser and theater director Heiko Michels will perform the realistic dystopia of a twilight of democracy in the Galilee Church. The text fragments for the Requiem are composed of original quotations on the topic, collected beforehand during street interviews in the neighborhood. A choir of approximately six performers from the neighborhood will comment on the liturgy through performative interventions in the nave.

The Requiem will be musically framed and structured by Marc Weiser (guitar, vocals), Caroline Tallone (hurdy-gurdy) and other guests.

Starting at 9 pm, electronic artist/musician Victoria Keddie and Frank Bretschneider will perform solo performances, concluding the day at 10 pm.

All events are barrier-free and admission is free.
