A Sonata dos Espíritos by Reimann, sab 01 jul 2017, De (2017/2017), Dirigido por Otto Katzameier, Regente Michael Wendeberg, Schiller Theater, Berlim, Alemanha

A morbid dining party has been meeting in a noble house for many years, their only connection being idle rituals of eternally identical activities. You meet in silence, because there is a quiet agreement about the invented stories and face-saving lies of each individual. However, this spooky situation is soon disturbed by director Hummel, who has decided to settle accounts with the company in front of the unsuspecting student Arkenholz. Aribert Reimann based his music theater performance, which premiered in 1984, on the chamber play of the same name by the author August Strindberg, for which he produced his own translation. In doing so, he focuses primarily on the absurd-grotesque features of the work and the symbolism that oscillates between reality and dreams, which find their correspondence in a multifaceted timbre and effective musical atmospheres, and creates a network of delicate psychological lines.
