Music theatre between devotion and desire
In 2022, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of Heinrich Schütz's death, NICO AND THE NAVIGATORS dedicated themselves to the work of the early Baroque composer, who received his musical training in Kassel before studying the Italian style in Venice.

VISUAL NICO AND THE NAVIGATORS: Fleisch & Geist
For decades, Heinrich Schütz shaped musical life in Dresden as court Kapellmeister before retiring to Weißenfels. By then, he had already achieved European prominence with his madrigals and motets, his Symphoniae Sacrae and Passions.
The staged project "Flesh and Spirit" explores the inner and outer coordinates of his art, heavenly faith and earthly desire, and the contemporary resonance of such an attitude.
At the end of the Gutenberg Galaxy, the cosmos of books, from whose words Schütz and his contemporaries drew their sacred and secular works, is surveyed once again.
