ohne X und ohne U

The musical theatre piece «ohne X und ohne U» is a tribute to the Basel author Adelheid Duvanel and her outsider characters. Former radio presenter Andreas Müller-Crepon takes to the stage with 12 historical radio sets that served as a mouthpiece to the world, as communication devices and miracle machines, and which are being replaced by modern, adaptive AI robots, the so-called «healing robots», which were used during the pandemic with a «hug mode» for lonely people.
Literary critic Beatrice von Matt says: «An extremely impressive text, sound and radio installation. It has a lasting effect. Rarely have sentences by this poet seemed so light and witty to me as in this selection. Yet subtle nonetheless».
