Spot On MozART

In two open workshop phases, students from the Department of Scenography and teachers from the Mozarteum University met with employees of the Red Bull Media House to examine and explore sounds in a minor key by W. A. Mozart and the fascinating visual worlds of the Red Bull Media House film and image archive.

Requiem in D minor, KV 626

A cooperation of the Mozarteum University and the Red Bull Media House.

Extreme contrasts and surprising similarities, images and sounds were mapped onto each other in transformational processes. The approaches of this research started a creative process with an intentionally open outcome: the Great Fair meets dangerous descents, the Lacrimosa meets an energy drink from a can, discussions meet interpretations, emotions meet visions. A work-in-progress on: Transformations Installations Visions

find me!

Mozart had to deal with the problem of being an ordinary person and at the same time an extremely sensitive musician. Was it difficult to accept himself? Did he frighten himself when he realised his extraordinary talent? Was his humour helpful in accepting himself? In the search for answers to these questions, many themes can be discerned that can be symbolic and meaningful for any generation and at any time.

All’Aria

In 1770 Mozart lived in Bologna and passed the examination to become a member of the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna. ALL'ARIA traces his places of residence and shows Bologna as an ancient and modern city - historical places in a modern time. Taken out of the usual setting, the traditional concert halls and the classical theater, we meet Mozart's music outside, in the street, under the arcades and all'aria - in the air.
