Staged concert by Nico and the Navigators

For more than twenty years, press and public have been singing the praises of the musical theatre group Nico and the Navigators for its poetic productions in which masterpieces of classical music are suddenly portrayed in a different light, thanks to an intelligent integration of music and other art forms.
In the Totentanz, director and artistic director Nicola Hümpel sets her sights on the genres of the dance and song of death. With Totentanz, Nico and the Navigators invite you to ponder the greatest transition in human existence: the journey from life to death, and the emotions involved, between rage and reflection, desperation and resignation. In this intimate and moving performance about the transience of life, you are given an overview of the history of the dance of death as a genre.
