V01CES//B0D1EZ

In the organizer's words:

Munich Biennale - Festival for New Music Theater

What is the relationship between creative processes and craft, work and machine, exhaustion and revolution?
V01CES//B0D1EZ is the music-theatrical encounter between the composer Piyawat Louilarpprasert, who was recently awarded the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation's Ensemble Prize, and Hans Werner Henze, the founder of the Munich Biennale, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2026.

In a co-production with the Munich Biennale, V01CES//B0D1EZ poses current questions about political and physical work, ritualized activities and ongoing resistance in times of a working world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, mirrored by an AI-based libretto for the new composition R3SIST4NC3 B0D1EZ.

Music theater based on Hans Werner Henze's Voices and Piyawat Louilarpprasert's R3SIST4NC3 B 0D1EZ (world premiere), based on texts by Richard W. Thomas, Bertolt Brecht, Erich Fried, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Ho Chi Minh, Victor Hernández Cruz, Walton Smith and Piyawat Louilarpprasert (with the participation of AI)In German and English with German and English surtitles
