Love & Diversity

You are sitting at a bar and eventually move on from one place to another throughout the night. In this reflection of urban loneliness you encounter new faces with whom you share seemingly insignificant moments. But just maybe you will have an encounter that transforms a stranger into the love of your life; a slight twist of fate that you might expect to find in a piece of musical theater. Manos Tsangaris’ „Love & Diversity“ takes the aesthetic form of a speed date. Seven musicians and one actress, positioned in their own distinct performance station, inhabit the theatrical space. Meanwhile, small groups of three audience members move from station to station until they have experienced all eight performances. These dates develop a rich web of instrumental music, spoken text, video and light interactions, where the instrumentalists themselves are the actors.
