Word-music collage based on the novel "Schumanns Schatten" by Peter Härtling
In their new project Matthias Brandt and Jens Thomas dedicate themselves to the work and the complex personality of Robert Schumann. As with hardly any other composer, he combines the artistic with the biographical.
.His mental instability, the recurring depressive episodes and states of "total nervous exhaustion", the fixed idea of going insane - all this is undoubtedly reflected in Schumann. While Brandt makes the nerves of the audience vibrate, Thomas improvises appropriately on the piano - a fascinating play of text and sound that juggles with the mental abysses of the characters.
