A memento of the unspoken: The new piece of music theatre "Songs for Captured Voices," by Philipp Bergmann, Sandra E. Blatterer, Laure M. Hiendl, Göksu Kunak, Elaine Mitchener, Nico Navarro Rueda, Thea Reifler, Djibril Sall and the ensemble KNM Berlin centres around human voices that have been instrumentalised time and again throughout history and become the object of asymmetrical power negotiations. Audio recordings from German prisoner-of-war camps from the First and Second World Wars serve as the background of this project, as do acoustic recordings taken from the setting of current asylum procedures. The recordings themselves are not played or reproduced onstage; rather, the capture of these human voices acts as a starting point for attentive listening: the original music composed for this project allows what remains unspoken and hidden, what exists in the in-between sounds and blurriness, to resound.
Due to circumstances, the music theatre "Songs for Captured Voices" will be released as an album version online. This version includes a sound recording of the music as well as a booklet with the libretto and photographs of the stage work.
