Riesen Rieseln by Denner, Od (2023/2023), Režírované Julia Dina Hesse, Dirigent Koji Ishizaka, Opernhaus Dortmund, Dortmund, Germany

Whether something or someone is big or small always depends on the perspective. In addition, one does not exist without the other, because even the widest desert consists of infinitely many tiny grains of sand, the deepest sea of ​​countless drops of water and every forest is only called that thanks to its thousands of trees and plants. In GIANT RIESELN , the artistic team turns the proportions upside down and re-measures the world around them and their youngest listeners, sometimes as bawling giants, sometimes as whispering midgets. The composer Kathrin A. Denner and the director Julia Dina Hesse create a music theater for children from 2 years, which moves in the field of tension between big and small, loud and quiet, fast and slow. With three singers as well as self-made instruments and noise makers, the "big picture" is taken apart, examined and reassembled. No finished story is told here, the children can rather experience a multitude of different sound and visual moments, listen to other worlds and maybe even become huge themselves.
