Adel Abdel Wahab (Egypt) and Alexander Paulick (Germany)

Music for Unstageable Theater is a multidisciplinary performance about the nature of self-censorship in our current time. Someone -a playwright- responds to all the stimuli of self-censorship. He embodies fear, confusion, solitude, and isolation. Music for Unstageable Theater is an interrogation of violence, chaos, vulnerability, the public, the private, the self, the other, the universe, and where the authority of self-censorship ends and where it begins. (Music for Unstageable Theater) is a multidisciplinary artistic research process where text, music, dance, and sculpture epitomize the dilemma of freewill vs. submission.

Working with SOUND, SCENT, SCULPTURE and one single ACTOR / DANCER, the artists create a performance to the soundtrack of a theater piece that remains unstaged.
