Songs of Rebellion

Opera Lab Berlin & Ensemble Garage

Brigitta Muntendorf / Michael Höppner

Generously supported by Kunststiftung NRW, the Berlin Senate (Spartenoffene Förderung) and Rudolf Augstein Stiftung

In SONGS OF REBELLION Brigitta Muntendorf (composer) and Michael Höppner (stage director) expose themselves and the "Community of Practice", an alliance of various ensembles, to the individual and collective power of protest songs and stage their ambivalent relationship to forms of uprising. The contradictory role of this song type, swaying between confrontation and conformity as stimulant, icon, myth, symbol of resistance or party tune, deems it both immortal and vulnerable. SONGS OF REBELLION unfolds an immersive musical, theatrical and medial control room, in which escapism and agitation, art and politics, new music and pop, contemplation and action can at any time be a fanfare or lullaby for the rebellion.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
