Trahndorff’s concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk from the tropes and conventions of opera, this “adisciplinary” project aims to dilute the distinctions between a myriad of artistic forms.

The work is developed collectively by artists following their own path, working rhizomatically without a director or Conductor.
