Der Mordfall Halit Yozgat Frost

Der australische Komponist und Regisseur Ben Frost nimmt in seiner Oper den NSU-Mord an Halit Yozgat und den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit dessen Folgen zum ...

Classic, minimal and heavy metal: In the second part of the behind-the-scenes video, singer Céline Akçağ talks about working with composer and director Ben Frost. Only on May 1st, 4th and 8th at the Hanover Opera House! Information and tickets at staatstheater-hannover.de/mordfall

On April 6, 2006, 21-year-old Halit Yozgat was murdered by the NSU in an internet café in Kassel. In the meantime, the negotiations against the members of the right-wing extremist terror group have been concluded and the trial files are under lock and key for the next 120 years. The composer Ben Frost takes the murder case and our social dealings with its consequences as an occasion for his opera. Based on the highly acclaimed installation 77sqm_9: 26min by the Forensic Architecture research team, he designs an evening with members of the opera and drama ensemble about our handling and responsibility towards history. The Hanover State Orchestra plays.
The first performance of The Murder Case Halit Yozgat was actuallyplanned for spring 2020 and could not take place due to the pandemic. The film that was made during rehearsals has since been invited to numerous digital festivals, including the Holland Festival Amsterdam and the Prototype Festival New York. In spring 2022, the opera will finally have its analogue premiere in the Schauspielhaus.
In his music, Ben Frost combines structured sound art with post-classical electronic music, physical energy with light-footed melodies, concentrated minimalism with expansive dark metal. In his work he is looking for new ways of combining music, body, performance and dance.

Trigger warning:
the scenic repetition of the sequence of events in the production of The Murder Case Halit Yozgat can have a retraumatising effect on people affected by (racist) violence.
