Nietzsche

Five audio dramas at the heart of the new permanent exhibition in the Nietzsche-Haus Naumburg.

Project

The small rooms of the house in Naumburg where Friedrich Nietzsche lived with his mother hold no original furniture and almost no personal belongings. So the exhibition takes another route: every exhibit hides a quotation and opens a different facet of his life and thinking. Why is there a mole on the wall? Why does an umbrella hang from the ceiling? What does a Nietzsche composition sound like?

The answers come through the ear. I accompanied the concept from the first idea to its creative and technical realisation, and together with pangram audio I developed, produced and sound-designed five audio dramas that visitors follow through the house with the audio guide – each one a different path into the “phenomenon Nietzsche”, one of them for children.
