Mousonturm Saal

Performance/Concert/Film

Six lawyers and NGO employees met up to discuss, argue, dance and celebrate on an island in the Moselle located in the nether lands right on the doorstep of the city of Schengen in Luxembourg. Three decades after the first Schengen Agreement, they asked themselves how legislation could be used to enable justice worldwide? Their task: to create new, transnational legislation that meets the requirements of the national judiciaries and simultaneously takes into account the demands of a new, globalized society. This extraordinary meeting of scholars and experts was initiated in late summer 2014 by video artist and director Daniel Kötter and composer Hannes Seidl, who accompanied their guests continuously with both camera and microphone. Soloists of the Ensemble Nadar likewise attended the assembly of thinkers in the role of “ceremonial band” and acoustic confrontation. Now, on stage, experimental documentary film and live concert close ranks, double, duplicate, accompany and comment on one another, thus allowing us, the audience, to tangibly reflect on and experience the territorial implications of legislation and music in an interaction of all levels.
