Love Songs for Heim@t is an interdisciplinary metamorphous music theater production of around 80 minutes that thematizes the Internet and the accompanying shift in our lifestyle and the way we communicate towards a more mobile and flexible modality. The piece is searching for themself new places of the presentation over and over again. In each case, acoustic or visual informations will be annexed like Cookies and brought to the next place of presentation. So it appears in a garment mobile, not fixed, stretching a great net and acts as a bearer of information.

With the help of the figures of the piece different rooms and states are lighted up: Virtual, internal, from the time fallen ones. Everybody finds out his individual discussion with non-tangible, with different time perception, with interworlds and underworlds. Three singers, an instrumental ensemble and an amateur choir will bring this piece to life in an urban or rural public space. The composition integrates beside the taken down passages open modules, so- called “windows at the real time”, in which the acoustic peculiarities of the respective place play a musical Solopart.
Some sequences of the piece run linearly, other parts are simultaneous visible, audible or passable for the audiance – like at the visit of an exhibition.

This contemporary love story with mythological undertones is told through the characters Olaf and Rike, a modern nomadic couple, who call each other 'Orpheus' and 'Eurydice' on Skype. Their relation is stamped by distance, big longing for nearness and internal retreat. In between stands the author who tries to tell something about love. The always alert Chatroom, a constantly newly formating choir, represents the society. He challenges the figures, puts questions and presses for answers. The piece explores the theme of networking on multiple levels: Apart from the theme oft he story, It seeks to forge connections between different artistic disciplines, professional and amateurs, public spaces and art – a contemporary music theater piece, a street opera that delves into the inner and outer world of its characters. At last the intensive discussion with the subject led us to the big, old human questions: The questions after our existance, our identity, also after the existance and identity of our opponent: What is real, what thought who ist he originator (author)? Is that with which I communicate, also that whom I mean? He himself means to be?
