How do you bring techno into a Wagner opera house? For the ELEKTRO series at Osterfestspiele Salzburg, featuring DJ Anja Schneider and the photography of Sven Marquardt, I directed and performed the complete visual dimension of the show.
Working from a fixed 80-minute setlist, I designed a distinct visual world for every track and composed custom transitions between them, building a continuous dramaturgy rather than a loop of visuals. On the night, I live-directed the show in real time, responding to the performance as it unfolded, visuals as a live instrument, not a backdrop.
