An experiment in musical theatre is about to be born. One actor, one musician, one room. In this room, the self-destructive loneliness of Generation Y meets and strains against one of the main melancholy-topos in European culture: Schubert's Winterreise song cycle.
In recent times, many of us have experienced (and many of us struggle with this every day) what it is like to confront ourselves within the four walls of a room. We have observed how we can push ourselves into a vortex of doubts and fears. You walk up and down the same path in your room, in virtual space and within yourself, like a tiger in a cage, always rubbing its forehead in the corner, unnoticed.
„...What do you experience when standing still? What you can see all around you from where you are? That which one already knows? Can one say this, if one does not move away from the same spot? If there is no way out of immobility, one can at most experience how we are forgotten, but we have no power over it. One has no power anyway. Is the standstill already an arrival? For good? Or is there still hope to get away?..."
(I Am A Stranger by Elfriede Jelinek)
