Programme

A smile please

My December? What does it sound like? How does it feel? After 'Summ mit' in the summer, choral luminary Lorenz Maierhofer once again invites us on a collective, sensual, intuitive sound journey - this time to our inner images for the supposedly most peaceful time of the year. The audience in the festive Stefaniensaal will vibrate, inspired by the atmospheric Advent songs penned by Lorenz Maierhofer and interpreted by the award-winning HIB.art.chor under the direction of Maria Fürntratt. And Daniel Doujenis, as the mystical calendar man, leads us into the touching poetry of Christmas. We can't wait to see what Lorenz Maierhofer has in store for us - in the best sense of the word.

Duration of the performance: 80 minutes without intermission

At the same time, the editor for role design is considered an expert in contemporary drama and worked closely with the Graz theatre genius Ernst M. Binder.
