Westberlin changed since the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the developments in the post-war era. Once it was a vivid place, and now it is buried in oblivion. OPER DYNAMO WEST detects the blankspaces and includes their original functions, the urban space and its residents in their musictheater-performances. The artistic collective does not work on stage, but in public spaces: projects in between architecture and performing arts merge with music, text and space. The stages are for example Bahnhof Zoo, Kurfürstendamm, the Europa-Center or the vacant Schillertheater. Essays about the urban development, music, architecture and theatre complement the production-photos and analyze the central question of the projects: How can we influence or subvert urban structures? What is the scenery, what is reality? What is fiction and what is documentation?
