RUBER
is a traffic opera and site-specific music theatre piece that turns the city into both stage and score. Premiered during the Münchener Biennale 2024, the work unfolds inside and outside a moving black limousine, seating only three audience members at a time.As the car glides through Munich-Haidhausen, performers on foot, scooters, vans, and bikes appear and disappear in a precisely choreographed yet seemingly chaotic flow. Live audio is transmitted wirelessly into the car, which is equipped with a mobile mixing system that responds to speed and GPS location. The result is an absurd opera of wigs, guns, parkour, yellow goo, and molten cheese—spilling across the borders of theatre, street, and traffic.
A 45-minute multisensory ride where narrative emerges from glitches, loops, and detours. Rather than imposing a script, RÜBER composes with the city and its unpredictabilities.
