Artists: you see them everywhere. Provoking thought is just the least of what they do. They protest against wars and foster social cohesion in your neighbourhood. Fully aware of the absurdity of existence, actors battle anew with each performance. KUNST is the last way to save the world when all else hopelessly fails.
About KUNST
KUNST is a musical theatre production about the creation of art, aiming to be unprecedented, contemporary, and absurdist. Featuring flutes, guitars, trombones, violins, and synthesizers that squeak, grind, and scrape. It’s about cave paintings, Monet’s rising sun, Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring,” Dadaism, and all those other attempts to answer the question “why?” It’s about hope and cynicism, Sisyphus and absurdity, necessity and sound poems. It’s about production managers, permits, and nesting birds. It’s about trying to make the world a better place and to end wars, and the doubt whether site-specific theatre on a Wadden Sea island is the best way to do so.
KUNST is about the incredible beauty of carrying water to the sea or rolling a stone up a dune. About the sound of the wind through the trees, the grass, voices you sometimes hear in the distance but cannot understand, birds, birds, the occasional boat, sirens singing to lost sailors, and gods playing poker with laughter. Everything, everything forms together into voices, words, branches, said by no one, perhaps a canon, whispers, as if you can almost understand it, almost grasp it, almost hear it, almost everything has a reason, that you almost know why.
