Hsu Che-Yu with Chen Wan-Yin: ENTOMBED

Starting from Taiwan’s secret nuclear weapons programme and its termination in 1988 through U.S. intervention, the exhibition addresses questions of suppressed history, technological control, and geopolitical dependencies. Through filmic reenactments, digital simulations, and documentary material, Hsu, in collaboration with Chen, examines how visualisations construct collective memory and shape notions of political responsibility.

Humperdinck, Liszt and the other Wagner

Siegfried Wagner, the Bayreuth composer »from a different mould« and son of Richard Wagner, wrote 16 operas during the late German Empire and into the Weimar Republic – three of them premiered in Hamburg. Kammersänger Roman Trekel (Berlin State Opera), Nadja Kristi and British composer David Robert Coleman promise an exciting evening. They will be accompanied by soloists from the Berlin State Orchestra. Excerpts from Siegfried Wagner’s late Romantic operas will be performed. Works by his grandfather Franz Liszt and his teacher Engelbert Humperdinck will frame the moderated evening, which, with the aid of projections, will shed light on the life of this important composer, who long stood in the shadow of his famous father.

Il trovatore

For Leonora, the song of the troubadour Manrico holds the promise and glow of love; Manrico's rival Count Luna perceives in it threat and danger. Verdi's opera is a celebration of Italian opera singing at its best - so it is no coincidence that the title character is a singer himself.
