The 2008 Artangel project Stifter’s Dinge, by German composer and director Heiner Goebbels, is inspired by the 19th century poet and painter Adalbery Stifter and uses mechanical objects, music, projections and natural elements to create a composition in the form of an installation, written for five pianos with no pianists.
This year it returns for the final time to its original home at Ambika P3, a vast concrete construction hall on Marylebone Road. As well as reviving the 2008 seated performance, a new site-specific version has been created to renew the composition; Stifter’s Dinge: The Unguided Tour allows visitors to freely explore the environment, experiencing the work as a continuously developing installation.
