9th GRAND PRIX NOVA, 2021

SHORT FORMS. Austria - Nobody Knows

Author, Director, Sound engineer & Producer: Reinhard Karger. Voices: Yuchun Huang, Reinhard Karger.

SYNOPSIS:


The English translation of the German part of the text is „nobody knows what really happened...” A surrealistic dialogue between an experimentally stuttering individual and his teacher or master, never knowing if the latter takes her business serious or not. Is the whole thing funny or scary? This remains an unanswered question. Language as musical sound versus language transporting „meaning“ – that is my field of interest in this piece.
