Ein Einblick in die Orchesterproben zur szenischen Neuproduktion von Bachs JOHANNES-PASSION: Die Geigerinnen Fiona Stevens und Veronika Unger vom Staatsorchester Stuttgart erzählen von den Besonderheiten barocken Musizierens und ihrer Liebe zu Bachs Musik!

Musikalische Leitung: Cornelius Meister
Inszenierung: Ulrich Rasche

“In the symbolic emptiness, all meaningful and community-forming images and metaphors that stabilize life are lost. The experience of duration decreases.” (Byung-Chul Han) The central function of the rite, the cultic-religious celebration celebrated collectively, has always been to create symbolic cement with which groups of a common origin remember (this was once the European theater born out of the Greek cult). In Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion, too, the retelling of the Passion of Jesus Christ has a universal, politically communitarian side: the question of Jesus' origin splits a group and produces voices with different identification values. In the heart-shattering musical devotional images, some delve into the human dimensions of Jesus' suffering and find comfort and strength in it. Others doubt its divine origin, lose their empathy, accuse and rage. The St. John Passion draws attention not only to the hereafter, but also to the origin of individual action from the collective attitude - to questions of domination and belonging, the suffering of others and responsibility towards them. Given all we know and how we have lived, does not a reappraisal of the individual's entanglement with the world be necessary? Director and stage designer Ulrich Rasche projects these themes into a chorus whose accusations and pity reflect perspectives of the community.
