“Lichtblitz” is a revival of the work that premiered in 2018 and is presented as Programme VII of our 20th-anniversary project.

Inspired by Shōhei Ōoka’s novel “Fire on the Plain” and Miyako Ishiuchi’s photo series “Hiroshima”, the piece explores the cruelty and absurd reality of war. When it was originally created in 2018, war still felt like something happening elsewhere – visible through the stories and the presence of refugees arriving in Europe, yet posing no immediate threat to daily life. Today, its presence has moved uncomfortably close, lending Lichtblitz a new and urgent resonance.
