TITANIC

AN ARTISTIC EXPLORATION OF DISASTER

A myth balancing between grandeur and decay. Six artistic subprojects, six perspectives on a catastrophe that never ceases to repeat itself. Titanic is history—and the present.

Part 1 – Unsinkable

The Titanic as a symbol of progress—immense, unstoppable, allegedly unsinkable. But beneath the surface, disaster is already lurking. A purely musical exploration of human hubris in the face of nature’s forces.

Part 2 – Silence

Between the roar of the engines and the cold of the night—a silence that carries doom. The whisper of the waves, one last breath, then the sound of metal breaking. “It’s eleven forty”—the moment when everything changes.

Part 3 – A Dance

While the disaster is already happening, people are laughing and dancing. Caught in the feeling that something is wrong, but without knowing what. A dance on the edge, a celebration in the shadow of impending doom.

Self-doubt and fear arise, but there is confidence that there will be a solution in the end.

Part 4 – Buried

111 years later— the wreck again drags people into the depths. Self-inflicted. A poetic journey into darkness, where past and present merge.

Part 5 – The Key

Five causes, five voices, a chain of fatal errors. An epic play that reveals the mechanisms of a catastrophe - from ignored warnings to the missing key to the binoculars. A chorus of ghosts telling stories they could never know.

Part 6 – We Build

How the catastrophe came about - a parable for excessive hubris. With worst punishment.
