Vielmehr schwebe ihm ein "Raum für Imagination und Reflexion" vor, "in dem die Konstruktion von Sinn jedem selbst überlassen bleibt"
----- 2024, Sonja Harter, Salzburger Nachrichten
【About the Performance】
Everything That Happened and Would Happen spans a hundred years of European history: its giddy contradictions, false promises and consuming crises. Taking the First World War as a starting point, the performance proposes a landscape of fragmented incident without differentiating the trivial and the supposedly meaningful. Together with 16 musicians, dancers and performers, Heiner Goebbels leads us to a storage depot filled with the props of the past, the burden of the present and the key to possible futures. Part-performance, part construction site, Everything That Happened and Would Happen is an invitation to imagine an alternative history of the 20th century through the poetry of collaboration and chance. The work is inspired by source materials that document society from the First World War to present day: Goebbels draws from Patrik Ouředník’s book “Europeana, a brief history of the twentieth century” that deconstructs dominant historical narratives; John Cage’s anti-opera “Europeras 1&2”; and the European Euronews channel “No Comment”, which depicts events around the world without editing or commentary. Goebbels combines these sources—along with his fascination with literature, politics, and anthropology—for rich visual compositions accompanied by a score of classical, jazz, and contemporary music. Everything That Happened and Would Happen is an open invitation to reflect on what constitutes European identity, where it has its origins and what its future might look like; to imagine different versions of our past, present and future.
【Artist Profile】
Heiner Goebbels, born in Neustadt an der Weinstraße in 1952, is a German composer, director and theatre maker. He studied sociology and music and has composed for ensembles and orchestras. He is known for his interdisciplinary works that combine music, theatre, dance and visual arts. In the 1980s, he had a major impact on German theatre with his avant-garde productions and experimental soundscapes. As artistic director of Schauspiel Frankfurt (2006-2012), he created numerous internationally acclaimed and award-winning works. From 2012 to 2014 he was artistic director of the Ruhrtriennale. In 2018, he received the first appointment to the newly established Georg Büchner Professorship at the University of Giessen. In 2012, his book Aesthetics ofAbsence was published. Goebbels has received several international awards, including the European Theatre Prize and the International Ibsen Prize, and is considered one of the leading figures in contemporary music theatre and performative art.
