With this large-scale inclusive performance project, we want to make an artistic statement, touch people’s hearts and encourage them to reflect on what it means to be human.
That is why aspects of human rights will shape the lessons and art courses at Windrather Talschule, Freie Waldorfschule and Berufskolleg during the anniversary year 2025. The results of this work will be reflected in a growing exhibition and in a large ‘birthday party’ with a public performance of HUMAN music.
The orchestra, assembled especially for the celebration, will play the complete HUMAN Suite. In addition, texts will accompany the concert, including singing by a choir of teachers and students in the piece ‘Community.’ The picture series with community dance and scenic play will also be enriched by individual images with eurythmy.
