„Invidia der böse Blick“ was a long planned dance theater by Grischka Voss. It was my first collaboration with her and Kristina Bangert as Co-directors. Grischka Voss researched about different aspects of envy for over four years. This was all packed into an evening that worked like a silent movie –  without any spoken words !

Many short scenes and dances divided by five songs. The beginning of the rehearsal time was uncommonly open.  As a composer I had all possibilities and directions to explore. And for me it had been a long thought of wish to step more into a „singers only“ position in a song. Turns out, that for the first time I was able to „play“,  taking on the role of mean and arrogant Dr. Envy Jack. I was directed in a very respectful and adventurous way by Christina Bangert and Grischka Voss, to really take my role in.
