Stargate Prohaska
Already in December 2019, 14 young performers went on a play development together at Stargate Prohaska, an artistic education project of Theater Bonn and us. Based on Beethoven’s play music »Leonore Prohaska«, scenes and music were created. Due to Corona, Stargate Prohaska soon became a digital hybrid project as well. The premiere was postponed several times and cancelled with a heavy heart. The project was sponsored by the anniversary society BTHVN2020. Here is a short 15 minute documentary that gives insight into the work from the last year:
