Dimensions Variable
2019
by Novoflot on Haus der Statistik
What is the new Novoflot opera like when a dimensions variable is announced? Liquid or gaseous? Foamy, sandy or rubber-like stretched? Hard to predict, because this time Novoflot is appearing in a space-time continuum not far from Alexanderplatz that has hardly been explored yet: on the ground floor of the former “House of Statistics”. Here, where the connection between building, living and thinking of these days is taken into new dimensions, Novoflot opens the access to a previously untrodden area: the “microcosm of statistics”. How could this be achieved? With subdued timpani and stuffed trumpets! With light equipment and the designs of all invited specialists* from the fields of mini space research, micro singing and model making. “Dimensions variable” is music theatre in shifted relations. Warm clothing recommended!
