Rendezvous - Ligeti Meets Kafka at KUNSTLABOR 2 - Bavarian State Opera

The series A rendezvous! takes the season's motto and the themes of the opera premieres as its starting point and develops individual, interdisciplinary and versatile formats with the city's cultural partners.

György Ligeti's musical range is enormous. He composed car horn fanfares and highly dramatic choral music, made metronomes swell into clusters and was adept at the most filigree piano music. At Stelldichein! in Kunstlabor 2 on Dachauer Strasse, his wonderfully enigmatic chamber music meets bizarre and enigmatic texts by Franz Kafka and Daniil Charms. In a tour through the rooms of the Kunstlabor, the audience will encounter dance improvisations and a choreography to Ligeti's "Three Pieces for Two Pianos", Kafka's and Charms' enigmatic and fascinating narrative miniatures as well as Ligeti's String Quartet No. 1 with the promising title "Métamorphoses nocturnes". Members of the Bavarian State Orchestra will perform, members of the Bavarian State Ballet will dance and Valentino Dalle Mura from the Residenztheater will read.

The public will also have the opportunity to visit the permanent exhibition in the art lab and the special exhibition by visual artist Dasha Minkina and to talk to participating artists afterwards. The Artist is Present!
