„sie sehen das weltall ohne schranken, unendlich raum und zeit, die sonne die uns scheint,
ein funke nur von einer höhern sonne - unsterblich deren geist.“
- musarion
musarion adapts the eponymous work by german writer christoph martin wieland and transfers the love story into the present day. phanias withdrew from the city of athens to the countryside to leave his old life behind. but one day he encounters his former girlfriend musarion who tries to bring him back to reason. the art film follows their struggle to find an enlightened form of love that can overcome philosophical and political fanaticism. musarion was directed by a collective of five young artists and mixes elements of the original text, opera, theatre, video art and narrative film.
"wir sehen von oben den erdball nur als einen punkt. und man könne mit einem schlag tausend welten erschaffen, und wenn es welten aus ideen sind, dann baut man sie eben so groß wie‘s geht. denn wenn unsere sinne mal erstummen, können wir im traume die wirklichkeit erblicken. “
- musarion
the directing collective consists of five young artists: dominik bais, vincent hannwacker, marie jaksch, mara pollak and julian Rabus which are all coming from different artistic disciplines. they met in julian rosefeldt's class at the academy of fine arts munich.
