Mass in C Minor: An Evening that Sets Power in Motion
With Mass in C Minor, Kathrin Spaniol and Morgan Nardi open a performative experimental field in Düsseldorf, where the audience not only watches but becomes part of a social experiment. The work combines ritual, theater games, and collective self-observation into a stage experience that makes seduction, resonance, and subtle manipulation palpable.

When the Space Becomes a Resonator
Spaniol and Nardi have been working together continuously since 2016 and were awarded the Düsseldorf City Performing Arts Promotion Prize in 2023; in 2024, the duo received a three-year concept funding from the Düsseldorf Cultural Office. Their artistic signature seeks the appropriate narrative in the space, and this precision also characterizes this evening at FFT Düsseldorf.

A Game of Glances, Gestures, and Leading Impulses
The advance announcement describes a situation where a group begins to orient itself according to a voice, a gesture, or a will. From this emerges the tension of the evening: power does not appear as a blunt command, but as a subtle shifting of habits, as choreographed temptation, as a disturbingly seductive order.
