The Project
KlangBrücke (into Übermorgen)
A choir that is more than just a musical body, but a resonance chamber for social change: Volkstheater Rostock is rethinking choral work as the starting point for a structural opening of the institution. Increasing cultural diversity calls for a more inclusive, permeable understanding of the ensemble – both in terms of personnel and programming. In a prototype model project, alternative organisational forms for an “extra-choir of tomorrow” are being explored: with hybrid membership, stronger anchoring in society, and collaboration between professional and semi-professional singers. The aim is to develop new artistic formats, incorporate previously unheard perspectives, and reach new audiences. Potential partnerships with other institutions – such as theatres, associations or churches – are also being considered.
