Schachtnovelle

An audiovisual performance exploring body, space, and language within a bunker. Inspired by Novalis’ Heinrich von Ofterdingen, the performance creates a dark fairytale world where the boundaries between technology and dream, narrator and character dissolve. The stage is minimal: a ventilation shaft, a light, a projector. The projections display bodies, fragmented texts, and bunker sequences. Music and language evoke a trance-like state – somewhere between meditation and disorientation.
