While the audience takes their places in the new half of the construction, a choir of more than 240 persons performs in a dramatic narrative manner in the ancient Roman half of the theatre – in keeping with the tradition of large-scale, ancient Roman drama. The human condition of powerlessness unrolls in magical images, acoustically in the song cycle of Spring – Tavern – Love, and visually in a horizontal Wheel of Fortune which also draws the audience into the action. The song of suffering of the swan plays a central role in this regard. The illustrations of the medieval manuscript broaden into fantastical visions of the microcosm in the macrocosm, projected into three-dimensionality – before they are brought back to the hard ground of reality by an unpredictable Fortuna.
