Staging Sound. Reflecting theatre music and sound design

In this episode, Konstantinos Thomaidis (co-director, choral music composer) talks about the themes, development processes and aesthics of his collaboration with Alexander Raptotasios (co-director) and Jeph Vanger (sound designer and electronic music composer) of the film "Mother Company" which explores the complex layers of extractivist greed, rural economies, environmental disaster and a community’s pride and suffering through the presence of a children's choir in a derelict power plant in Northern Greece.

In this episode theatre musicians Constantin John, Fabian Kalker, Karolin Killig, Nils Ostendorf, Katrin Schüler-Springorum, Rainer Süßmilch and Fiete Wachholtz discuss the working conditions of theatre musicians in German-speaking theatre, the formation of a network and the genesis of an open letter to theatre officials and critics they have just launched.
