Orpheus by Christof Littmann

In this collaboration between COMMEDIA FUTURA Theater in der Eisfabrik and Landerer & Company from 2013, the Orpheus story is retold as a multimedia experience.
As a result, the sound track is forgotten and replaced by a sound reduced to its bass frequencies that metamorphoses almost imperceptibly, yet still heard, into an inferno of sound which abruptly stops only to reform. Industrial sounds rain down, a grappling rhythm, a soothing piano theme, all accompanied by dancers in slow motion. A kaleidoscope of sounds from and for the underworld produced as a backdrop.

Christof Littmann lives and works in Hannover, Germany. Besides music for film and TV, he wrote music for more than 60 theatre-, and dance pieces by now.
Christof researches the relation between noise and music: „Let´s make us sensitive again for the beauty of sound and the sometimes ugliness of so called music.
