Akademietheater

“V01CES//B0D1EZ” is the musical encounter between composer Piyawat Louilarpprasert and Hans Werner Henze, the founder of the Munich Biennale, who in 2026 would have celebrated his 100th birthday.

Based on excerpts from Hans Werner Henze's vocal cycle “Voices”, Piyawat Louilarpprasert examines the invisible workings of performance, production and repetition and reflects on them in his composition “R3SIST4NC3 B0D1EZ”.
What is the connection between artistic process and craftsmanship, resistance and exhaustion, breath and machine?

“V01CES//B0D1EZ” is an exciting music theatre of political and physical labor, ritualized activities and ongoing resistance.
