In SONGS OF REBELLION, composer Brigitta Muntendorf and stage director Michael Höppner, together with their »community of practice« formed from their respective ensembles, expose themselves to the individual and collective power of the protest song, staging its ambivalent relationship to forms of rebellion. The contradictory role of this songtype as a stimulant, as a cult, as a myth, as a gesture of resistance or as party music, oscillating between riot and conformity, makes it appear as immortal as it is vulnerable at the same time. SONGS OF REBELLION unfolds a space of interfaces between music, theatre and media, in which escapism and agitation, art and politics, music from the realms of pop and avant-garde, can be the fanfare as well as the lullaby of rebellion.
