In the beginning God created heaven and earth.« – »The mighty, populous one was a lump. No grass, no tree, no man, no more life.«

After 3.5 billion years of life on Earth, five major mass extinctions that wiped out 60 to 70 percent of higher life forms each, and thousands of years of human civilization, we may be facing the next cataclysm: human-caused climate change is already triggering the next mass extinction.

 
What happens when the human part of creation comes to an end? Is culture, civilization, or life perishing? Who or what survives, transforms, adapts?

State director André Bücker is dedicated to the man-made apocalypse as part of a scenic oratorio with a cross-genre cast of singers, dancers and actors. Musically, »The End of Creation« continues classic lines of tradition into the modern age.
Texts by the visionary science fiction author Dietmar Dath replace the recitatives from Joseph Haydn's oratorio »The Creation«, which the composer Bernhard Lang, known for his innovative overwriting of existing material, adds a swan song to: texts, music and dance combine to form a complex one Total work of art.
