An interactive forklift opera about order and disorder by Marc Sinan, Tobias Rausch and Konrad Kästner about the human nature of wanting to create and destroy order permanently and compulsively. The opera becomes a logistics center. This is where Jay and Joe work, moving boxes back and forth with their forklift. Each box contains part of the score that tells a story. Joe sorts the stories, Jay mixes them up. This constantly creates new patterns on the stage. But the audience also has the opportunity to influence the movements on stage by sorting the boxes before the start of the piece. They provide interactive chaos or structure and help create a scenic evening. Arias, stories, musical scenes and video projections are randomly combined through the resulting order and disorder. Times, places and levels of reality are constantly shifting. The principles of order of the natural scientist Carl von Linné meet the chaos of the Vietnam War and the history of the ocean-going container. The musical material in CHAOSMOS consists of a mixture of original compositions, traditional repertoire and free improvisation, which also involves the audience. This new way of exploring musical interaction spans three seasons in three venues in Wuppertal, Halle and Bremen. Under the »NOperas!« label, different performance situations are always developing in the three houses, which provide impulses for research into music theater in the 21st century and for new forms of cooperation
