As part of KLANGLICHT 2016, the composer, sound artist and performer Tamara Friebel dedicated herself to Hartmut Skerbisch’s lightsaber, which was commissioned by ‘steirischer herbst’ in 1992 and helped the children’s and youth theater Next Liberty to its name. In her work for KLANGLICHT, Tamara Friebel set out in search of new perspectives on the lightsaber and used sound and light to allow the sculpture to take on different perspectives in three acts on a journey that ends with the victory of freedom.
