Musical theatre by Arash Safaian (Music) and Bernhard Glocksin (Book)
\nNeuk\u00f6llner Oper Berlin and Ensemble Adapter
\nWorld Premiere June 2, until July 8, 2017<\/p>\n

June 2, 1967. An evening in Berlin. The city in uproar. A couple amidst the turmoil. He\u2019s carrying a banner under his arm, she\u2019s carrying a child in her belly. He wants to stay just a little while longer. She goes home and waits for her husband all night. But while Christa Ohnesorg is waiting, her home becomes the kaleidoscope of an entire era. Stars and anonymous persons from the limbo of Zeitgeist and shed surreal light on her fate and the future of the whole country.
\nThe gunshot killing Benno Ohneborg that night changes everything. It is the initial spark for a protesting, radicalising, and divisive movement seizing all of West Germany. Some begin with a \u201cthe long march through the institutions,\u201d others create the Red Army Faction. This gunshot permeates thousands of heads.
\nBut where are we today, as \u201cchildren\u201d of the 1968s? And where would our society stand without the wake up call of an entire generation? Did Benno Ohnesorg have to die in order for this stagnated country to restore? Was the price too high? With the musical theatre THE GUNSHOT3-2-1967, a later-born generation creates a work of reflection, processing not only the social dimensions of these events and their meaningful impact, but evaluating new formats of music in theatre: at and with the Neuk\u00f6llner Oper \u2014 which itself stems from the spirit of resistance of the 1968s movement \u2014 collaborating with Ensemble Adapter, one of the leading contemporary music groups. Arash Safaian is a German-Iranian composer. He writes powerful scores, connecting the Zeitgeist of the 1968s with our present lives. Created with and performed by the soloist ensemble Adapter, with the addition of more instruments. The recording of Arash Safaian\u2019s composition \u00bb\u00dcberBach\u00ab was featured in the classical music charts and is being performed all over Europe. Combining drama and musical theatre, the book was written by Bernhard Glocksin, who has previously written librettos for composers Gerhard Schedl, Raffael Raina, Simon Stockhausen, Sinem Altan et al.. Directed by Fabian Gerhardt,\u00a0 who in 2016 already staged the world premiere of Affe<\/em> and Iris<\/em>. After Iris<\/em> and Affe<\/em>, internationally renowned video artist Vincent Stefan returns to the Neuk\u00f6llner Oper for another world premiere. Last but not least: designer Lena Schmid und dramaturge Lennart Naujoks celebrate their debut at the Neuk\u00f6llner Oper with The Gunshot 2.6.1967<\/em>.<\/p>\n
