MORE THAN ART

A Theatre Play in Five Acts
by Johannes M. Hedinger

Nine works of art set out on a journey. From the gallery to the museum, into a private collection, and from there into the village, the landscape, nature. Each place changes their voices and the ways they can be read.  Across five acts, a drama of art unfolds: a play of visibility and disappearance, transformation and transience. A theatre of artworks and a journey that always remains a search.
