The V International Festival of Performing Arts «Otkrovenie» will take place in Almaty. Today it is the only festival in Kazakhstan engaged in the development of a modern theater, as well as supporting independent theaters and theater projects in Almaty.

Within the framework of the festival, directorial project of Tilman Hecker presents the play "Midnight", which is based on Wolfgang-Amadeus Mozart's piano pieces: arias for soprano and orchestra "Ah se in ciel, benigne stele", recitative and rondo "Non temee, amato bene" for soprano, piano and orchestra, the song "Sehnsucht nach dem Fruehling" ("Melancholy in the Spring"), a concert for pianoforte and orchestra No. 27, a sonata for piano No.14 in C minor and Fantasia for piano in C minor. But the audience will not hear this music.

How can music become visible? In the play "Midnight", Tilman Hecker and Lincy Pasinger visualize Mozart's four works on stage using combinations of sounds, dance theater and experimental musical theater. Mozart's music is not so much audible as it is visible: the musical fragments are replaced by actors' movements, video and light, while the full sound scale accompanies the direction of the performance and reflects the structural interpretation of the musical score.

The premiere took place on March 6, 2016 on the stage Radialsystem V (Berlin)

"The empirical play challenges our understanding of music, and gives new life to the works of Mozart." Exberliner (SM), N147 / 2016
