Coming next month Droste Festival 2021: Dark Magic ALTARBILD HAVIXBECK A Heathen Catechism in Three Partitions by Ergo Phizmiz for Annette von Droste- Hülshoff ALTARBILD HAVIXBECK is a triptych of sound/image/text pieces exploring the world of Annette von Droste- Hülshoff in the format of a moving altarpiece. Using her intense relationship with nature, her visionary imagination, and her religious convictions as thematic starting points, the work uses collage, animation, puppetry, and choreography, to create an impressionistic and expressionistic journey through Annette's deeply imagistic world.
