EchoparK (Nadia Lichtig, Bertrand Georges) and Wolfgang Capellari transform the main room of the Secession into an Echopark. This is not difficult, since the room echoes tremendously. - The actor screams, the noise swells as it is multiplied back, the listener flees. And that is exactly what will not happen, because they know how to captivate the audience with carefully measured acoustic signs, poetic music, individual visual seductions and demonstrations.

EchoparK and Wolfgang Capellari work at the intersection between the visual and the acoustic. This is also what brings them together. The question is: How do they do it?

Furnishings built into the large hall provide acoustically very diverse situations that are purposefully employed: the large hall as resonator as outer space; cinema spaces for projections and concert; prefilm live concert. (Wolfgang Capellari)
