Description

There are big problems on the planet BEET 1770: its population is divided into M-beings and T-beings, who unfortunately do not get along at all. The M-beings need a lot of closeness, which the T-beings can’t stand. Civil war is looming! The only antidote: additive sound communication (i.e., melodies and sounds), of which there is far too little on BEET 1770. That’s why T-Erxis and M-Axta are setting out across the universe to find new sounds and melodies. When they land on Earth, they quickly realize that something is wrong. Is it the humans? Is it themselves? Or maybe the thereminis have something to do with it. So, will T-Erxis and M-Axta succeed in fulfilling their sound mission? Especially since the two extraterrestrials, as T- and M-beings, frequently have to pull themselves together to avoid going at each other’s throats. Ludwig van Beethoven’s famous song cycle To the Distant Beloved forms the musical basis for a mysterious communication breakdown between performers and audience.
