2h An exciting intrigue with music and documentary images as we’ve come to expect from BERLIN
7 July 2016. After a performance of Zvizdal during the Berliner Festspiele, the makers of BERLIN, meet a spirited, elderly German. They get talking and are immediately fascinated by his improbable life. Telephone numbers are exchanged. Several discussions and weeks later, the makers decide to dedicate the final part of their Holocene Cycle, in which they have created a series of city portraits, to him. The making of Berlin is a portrait of a city, constructed around the story of a Berliner who worked as an orchestral conductor at the Berlin Philharmonic. A man with an exceptional story who would like nothing more than to complete an unfinished chapter of this life. The makers want to help the man realise his dream. But all too soon they uncover cracks in his story. An exciting intrigue with music and documentary images as we’ve come to expect from BERLIN. The performance already begins a few weeks before you come to watch it live. Via a mini-documentary series you’ll be fed information about the leading character and his story, including some unexpected twists and turns. This will thoroughly prepare you to experience the ultimate dénouement live at DE SINGEL.
