21th June 2019, HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, World premiere

WARNUNG (lipsync for two voices) was part of the festival The Present is not enough. Performing Queer Histories and Futures, in HAU Hebbel am Ufer, 2019. Artists were invited to submit proposals for a manifesto that expresses their vision for a queer future.

In WARNUNG Johannes Müller and Philine Rinnert take a look at the subversive potential of opera: In collaboration with soprano Sarai Cole and baritone Shlomi Moto Wagner, they create a transnational musical manifesto based on the prophecies in Richard Wagner’s Ring. With the help of operatic artifacts, historical stage directions and pop cultural references they try to raise the question: Can we learn from opera?

With: Sarai Cole and Shlomi Moto Wagner
Concept and realisation: Johannes Müller / Philine Rinnert
