Mit «STYX Tours» begibt sich das Publikum auf eine musiktheatrale Reise ins Ungewisse. Eine humorvolle wie berührende Begegnung mit den eigenen Abgründen, den verpassten Chancen und 99 Arten zu sterben. Wenn wir mit dem Tod konfrontiert sind, denken wir unweigerlich über das Leben nach. Was macht ein Leben lebenswert ?

Was ist? Was bleibt?

Allzu oft wird der Tod in unserem Leben ausgeblendet – doch Trauer, Abschied und das Nachdenken über die eigene Endlichkeit gehören zum Menschsein. Schon in den 2010er Jahren sprach der Kulturwissenschaftler Thomas Macho von einer «neuen Sichtbarkeit des Todes». Dem Alltäglichen, Nebensächlichen und ja, auch Humoristischen widmet sich dieser Musiktheaterabend.

Für die Uraufführung entwickelt das Musiktheater-Kollektiv Agora, das an der Schnittstelle von Musiktheater und digitalen Medien arbeitet, gemeinsam mit der Komponistin in residence Maja S. K. Ratkje, Musiker*innen des Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO), Opernchor und Sängerinnen und Sängern des Ensembles des Luzerner Theaters eine Musiktheater-Performance auf dem Gelände des Alten Krematoriums beim Friedhof Friedental. Neben zwei Uraufführungen von Maja S. K. Ratkje formen das LFCO und Agora mit den Sängerinnen und Sängern barocke Arien, Lamento-Chöre und elektronische Loops zu einem musiktheatralen Spaziergang über das Aussengelände und in das Krematorium selbst.

With "STYX Tours" the audience embarks on a music theater journey into the unknown. A humorous and touching encounter with one's own abysses, missed opportunities and 99 ways to die. When we face death, we inevitably think about life. What makes a life worth living?

What is? What remains?

Death is all too often faded out in our lives - but grief, farewell and thinking about one's own finiteness are part of being human. As early as the 2010s, the cultural scientist Thomas Macho spoke of a "new visibility of death". This music theater evening is dedicated to the everyday, the trivial and yes, also the humorous.

For the premiere, the music theater collective Agora, which works at the interface of music theater and digital media, is developing together with the composer in residence Maja SK Ratkje, musicians from the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO), opera choir and singers of the ensemble of the Luzerner Theater a music theater performance on the grounds of the old crematorium near the Friedental cemetery. In addition to two world premieres by Maja SK Ratkje, the LFCO and Agora and the singers will form baroque arias, lament choirs and electronic loops into a music-theatrical walk across the grounds and into the crematorium itself.
