The night is going on – Radio drama made by yourself

“Nighthawks”, Edward Hopper’s most famous painting, created in 1942: three figures at the counter of a night café: two men and a woman with fox-red hair. On the other side the barkeeper. Nobody looks at the other. And yet they don’t seem to let each other out of their sight. Outside the deep blue of the late night. Suddenly the blood rushes into the veins of the figures in the picture. They gain life, begin to talk, and eventually their bodies function; they leave the picture frame. That should not have happened. Now things get complicated…

So much for the setting of the radio play, which is to be realized together in this two-semester seminar. Just like in real life, the radio play is developed in all production steps: from the “script” written by oneself to the acting of the scenes to dressing up with acoustic backdrops and composing sound and music tracks – from writing to mixing! The plot and the script will be developed in the winter semester, in the following summer semester it’s about implementing the whole thing through acting and turning it into a real listening experience. The radio play will be presented to the public at the beginning of July 2025.
