Theater der Klänge
Coastal Souls
Two years of field research on three European coasts – the Barents Sea, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic. In Hammerfest, Ermioni and Ondarroa the ensemble met women who hold life together on land while the men put out to sea. From their stories, rites and myths Jacqueline Fischer shapes a choreography between dock workers, net-menders and a defiant mermaid. Sound and composition: Jörg U. Lensing. Video scenography: Varun Krishnan. Dancers: Angela Matabuena, Julia Monschau, Antonia Thomsen, Mariane Verbecq.

Four decades on stage, more than thirty original productions. For the anniversary our studio in Düsseldorf-Pempelfort becomes an immersive space – a retrospective of four decades of audiovisual music and dance theatre.
To the Resonanzraum 40 project31 productions, 31 premieres
Since 1987, 31 pieces have been created. Every one a world premiere — no takeovers, no remakes. In addition, numerous further versions of some pieces and programme combinations of pieces. The range spans revivals of ancient, medieval and baroque material, the Bauhaus stage and the ensemble’s own music and dance theatre creations, through to stage works in which dancers interactively control sound and video in real time via motion sensors: a form the ensemble developed itself. A repertoire of this density and independence is rare in the German theatre landscape. All productions are documented here.
All productionsThe artists' collective Theater der Klänge
Founded in 1987 by ten artists from dance, music, drama and visual art, THEATER DER KLÄNGE understands itself as an interdisciplinary collective. Dance, drama, sound and digital images are not separate trades working side by side, but building blocks of a shared stage language.
Among the defining forces of this ensemble since its founding are Jörg U. Lensing – composer and director, thinking from sound and structure – and Jacqueline Fischer – dancer and choreographer, thinking from movement and the body. That the two emerge together from the very start is not a given. Here it is the programme.
About the ensembleBe as unbiased as possible; approach things as if the world had just been created; one does not reflect on a thing to death, but allows it to unfold, cautiously but freely.
