An animated triptych inspired by the Surrealism of the 1920s - two provocative short operas - Paul Hindemith's 'Sancta Susanna' and Bohuslav Martinu's 'Slzy Noze' (Tears of the Knife) - as well as Ondrej Adamek's contemporary orchestral work 'Sinuous Voices' were congenially brought to expressionist life: through associative collages and animations in combination with recordings shot both in a green screen studio and in RBB's Small Broadcasting Hall. Hindemith's 'Sancta Susanna' expressionistically stages the borders between erotic and religious ecstasy. The protagonist's satanic, sinful desire focuses on none other than the Saviour on the cross. In the surreal-dadaistic comedy 'Slzy Noze' by Martinu, instead, a young girl falls in love with a hanged man. In her attempts to win him over, she always ends up in the arms of Satan.—DSO Berlin
