About the project

The past and culture upheavals in the biography and contemporary history are treated as topics. The central motif is a mine and mining. The production attempts to make modern music theater able to be experienced in a historic mine in the history of salt. The literary world is combined with the historic and the intimacy of the event underscored by the fact that it can only accommodate a maximum of 70 audience members.
