‘Signal am Dachstein’ is a community art project in the Dachstein region running over several years, in which many artistic threads are woven together. In 2021 the project was launched at the summer solstice: we designed a landscape opera together with the La Strada Graz Festival. The overtures of which already began in the valley around the Dachstein. With this prelude, space was created for communal reflection on the future of the climate-sensitive Alpine region.
Today nature has become fragile, the glaciers are disappearing. With our landscape opera, we asked for fawareness on site because of the consequences of climate change. The Dachstein Glacier in Austria is one of the highest points in the Northern Alps, but also one of the places that constantly reminds us of the horrifying fact that it will be gone in approximately 30 years from now. Our works always try to connect the landscape, the music and the audience and we sincerely hope to raise more attention for the awful climatic disaster that is currently taking place on Dachstein.
