Water and death - Woyzeck and Marie, Ophelia, the lady of Shalott and ludwing II of Bavaria - set the tone in the ouverture to this production, pouring rain dominates its final images. Its theme is the pursuit of love and beauty, even beyond the bounds of death . The action develops by association: images, music and text run parallel, cut across each other and regulary contradict or comment on each other. IN SILENCE AND TEARS can be described as the maker´s fictional autiobiography, crammed with facts abouts his fascinations.
