Simultan Krippenspiel (Concert bruitiste)
by Hugo Ball
'Simultan Krippenspiel (Concert bruitiste)' Summary
In "Simultan Krippenspiel", Hugo Ball deconstructs the traditional Christmas narrative through a jarring, nonsensical soundscape. The play utilizes sound effects and vocalizations to convey the story of the Nativity, with characters like the Wind, the Ox, and the Three Kings represented by distinctive sounds. The play is a critique of traditional storytelling, replacing words with a cacophony of noises, and highlights the absurdist and surreal elements of dadaism. The result is a playful and innovative work of performance art that challenges conventional notions of Christmas and theatrical representation.Book Details
