The Dramolett of Tancred Hadwiger "Zu keiner Zeit betreten" takes place in a possible future. Five characters, each with significant additudes and bad habits are heading down in individual scenes to various (im-) possible locations and venues. They use a language which syntax seems to be incomprehensible. The texts are cryptic, lyrical, associative and fragmentary. The fragility and inconsistency of linguistic show how language produces reality and how we sort our external perceptions to an inner reality. In addition to the relationship between music and text, video plays an important role: Live Visuals are mixed with images from television, Images of the players and singers are doubled, splittedd and dissolve in the visualization of a swarm. The lyrics are partly spoken and partly sung.

The music ranges from detailed worked out noise and sound layers, linear gradients and subtle melody to expressive sound outbreaks. The musical ensemble consists of classical instruments such as flute, clarinet, cello, double bass, percussion and electroacoustic as electric guitar, keyboard and live electronics. The master project of Raimund Vogtenhuber (composition student at the ZHdK) is developed in cooperation with the department of music and theater.
