When the myth begins to speak at the museum
With “Loreley is being searched for!”, an unusual stage experience unfolds at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, blending performance, exhibition, and social reality. The Bonn Association for Assistance to the Vulnerable transforms the museum space into a performative intervention that connects Heinrich Heine's Loreley myth with personal stories and contemporary experiences.
Between poetry and the present
Director Alex Mello combines visual art, music, poetry, and documentary elements into a multifaceted staging. The Loreley appears here not as a distant legendary figure but as a mirror of invisible life realities. What once flowed as romantic song through literature becomes a question of perception, dignity, and social participation.
A museum becomes a stage
At the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the audience encounters an atmosphere where acoustics, lighting, and spatial proximity intensify. The ensemble brings together experienced participants and so-called experts of everyday life. From this arises a special immediacy: not a classic proscenium theater, but an open space where performing arts and biographical truth intersect.
Dramaturgy with social resonance
The production is part of the exhibition #IFEELYOU. Dimensions of Empathy and addresses exactly where art not only shows but listens. The dramatic power lies in the void: The Loreley has disappeared, her song has fallen silent, but this very absence opens the view to unheard voices of the present. The audience reaction arises not from effect, but from proximity, attention, and empathy.
Conclusion: A compelling date for culture enthusiasts
“Loreley is being searched for!” promises an intense, intelligent, and touching theater experience in the museum. Those who appreciate documentary theater, performative art, and socially conscious stage art should not miss this date in Bonn.
