Liebe

First finance, then law and ultimately Love. With the third part of their music theatre project Ökonomien des Handelns (Economies of Action), experimental filmmaker Daniel Kötter and composer Hannes Seidl complete their investigation into the parameters of social action. As in the previous parts, Kredit and Recht, which were presented at last year’s MaerzMusik, here the two artists once again experiment with a range of forms of documentary narration in both film and music. The focus of their interest lies not on love in the romantic sense of a relationship between a couple, but as a force of social cohesion.
