Based on historical facts, the artists of Ensemble Megaphon and Ensemble Sozusingen, directed by Lenka Župková, transform the forgotten epidemics into musical-theatrical miniatures. In the guise of an interactive city tour on the history of epidemics, music meets documentary theatre and dance sequences.
The audience process through the urban space and experience the multi-layered aspects of the history of viruses and epidemics on urban society in performative interventions. While composer Tatjana Prelevic weaves singing, music, language and percussion into musical-theatrical images, the costumes by visual artist Inge-Rose Lippok infect through their diversity. Infectus Hannover thus sensually, visually and provocatively brings to mind the memories of surviving pandemics and makes the connections to the present tangible.
