Trailer - Niemand stirbt in der Mitte seines Lebens

With the world premiere of Nobody dies in the middle of his life. Lebensrausch und Totentänze” Nico and the Navigators continue their successful format of staged concerts in the Konzerthaus Berlin: How do we live with the knowledge that we have to die? Are there exercises that we can use to prepare for this farewell? Should we make death a celebration at the last moment, as Nietzsche intended? Or should we dance on the volcano beforehand?

To the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Schubert, Leonard Cohen, Rufus Wainwright, Klaus Nomi and others, quiet and ecstatic moments alternate in a lively, musical debate - and in doing so present the power of death as the ultimate measure of all life. The dancers Yui Kawaguchi and Ruben Reniers meet in ecstatic dances of death or become the mysterious power of finiteness themselves. They meet the celebrated Russian baritone Nikolay Borchev, the soprano Julla von Landsberg, the American tenor Ted Schmitz and the actress Annedore Kleist in sad, laconic and intoxicating scenes. 

With their instruments, the violinist Elfa Rún Kristinsdóttir, the double bass player Winfried Holzenkamp and the drummer Philipp Kullen ensure a broad spectrum of sounds between baroque and pop, between art songs and quodlibet. Matan Porat, who has made a name for himself both as a pianist and as a composer, has arranged part of the music in an artful and enigmatic manner and is taking over the musical direction on the grand piano.
