The musicians were positioned at various points in the ruin and the audience was sounded in the middle.
On actors was completely waived the plot ran through chat messages. The background formed the ruin and the view into the Inntal at sunset. The main component was the music that was built around the audience with echo effects. Egid Jöchl will give an insight into his work with a focus on this work?
