Ludwig Van Kraftwerk (eine kritische Diskothek)
Duration: ~ 50 minutes
Commissioned by: Akademie der Künste
Premiere: Online, May 2000
It is unfortunate that I cannot be here in person due to the corona pandemic. Nevertheless, I would like to thank you for inviting me to the Beethoven Lab. In the following, I will talk about Mauricio Kagel's movie "Ludwig Van" and its reception of Beethoven.
Second, I will talk about an imaginary concert and performance project: a re-enactment of the Kagel film as a walk-in spatial staging.
And third, I will present an experimental scientific method that will open up a new perspective on these two projects.
