Elegy for Television (Holle / Nguyen / Rebgetz / Wolf)

Musikperformance

According to serious prognoses, the television will have disappeared from households by the end of the coming century. The so-called ‘cord cutting revolution‘ describes the phenomenon of the rapid worldwide decline in subscribers to stations broadcast by cable and satellite. The global expansion of video streaming releases consumption and demand from the time constraints of TV programmes. Dauntlessly, the performers Fabian Holle, Baly Nguyen, Damian Rebgetz, and Melanie Jame Wolf intone the “Elegy for Television”. In a mosaic of re-enactments, they look into the ritual of the Television Age, the lost moments of community, the synchronization of neighborhoods and nations, zapping through individual and collective memories.

With its three stages, HAU1, HAU2, and HAU3, HAU Hebbel am Ufer stands for current artistic positions at the interface of theatre, dance, and performance. Additionally, music, visual arts, and public discussions are also essential components of the programme. Together with the artists, the artistic team, under the direction of Annemie Vanackere, is seeking out forms that can bring deep artistic expression to a radically altered order of social and geopolitical relations. Both in national and international contexts, HAU Hebbel am Ufer is widely cross-linked. Self-productions and co-productions, festivals and projects from the Berlin, national and international scenes are prepared and shown here. Furthermore, HAU annually organises “Tanz im August”, one of the most renowned dance festivals in Europe.
