What if the concert was watching you back? <\/p>\n
In Last Show, German-Austrian composer Brigitta Muntendorf turns the auditorium into a live social experiment. <\/p>\n
Set somewhere between a television studio, concert hall, and a system quietly slipping out of control, this immersive work dissolves the line between audience and performer. Fourteen musicians operate as both showband and ensemble, while sound mutates between slick entertainment and abstraction, constantly reshaping itself. <\/p>\n
Guided by Muntendorf\u2019s concept of Radical Listening, you\u2019re invited to engage, respond, vote, or just reflect \u2013 to step out of anonymity and into the mechanics of the show. As questions appear, roles shift, content fades, what remains is a shared space where music, technology, and social behaviour collide. <\/p>\n
Part performance, part fiction, part mirror, Last Show asks not what you think \u2013 but how you\u2019re thinking, and who you become when everything is staged. <\/p>\n
Welcome to the spectacle. <\/p>\n
Brigitta Muntendorf is one of Germany\u2019s most progressive voices among a new generation of composers. She creates music that explores the fragility of socio-political concepts, confronting themes such as public versus private and digital identity. The result is work that is challenging, innovative, and thought-provoking \u2014 music you can both feel and reflect upon. <\/p>\n
