At the age of five György Ligeti imagined a fantastic country: KYLWIRIA! 95 years later, his utopian but pure language is still being spoken there. Nate Wooley, Lucia Kilger, Vassos Nicolaou, Theresia Philipp, André O. Möller and Carolin Pook internalized its Grammar. Together with the octet ColLAB Cologne and captain Susanne Blumenthal, they courageously travel to the Kylwirian. Their song takes two hours and six verses, which the West German Broadcast will sling through the ether, 9 ½ decades back in time, by cutting edge time warp technology. 

Our little trip to the school hostel Klausenburg (including a night walk through the Kylwirian children's songs' cemetery) brings a dozen young artists from the Lower Rhine INprogRES, in a petit macabre dialogue with shrill sound-beings, who in turn owe part of their musical character to this supernatural northern Transylvanian cluster-radiation. But Attençion! Again, nine sirens from Trondheim cross the path with their quadrilateral fore-and-aft sail rigged centenary brigantine. Their voices are mythical, impossible to locate, getting tangled up in a folkloric way on the Southwest Radio transmission tower, covering in coloured dreams: Hölderlin, Marton Illès’ Chorrajzok as a premierefor the transmission area of ​​the west, again Hölderlin, infinite light and then again, Hölderlin. Meanwhile, well-travelled vocal ensembles are Eny-Yves End’s guests as well as in the houses of worhip in the Grafenstadt Moers, , tout est à nouveau en ordre. Égal… pas pareil… nonpareil.. Simultaneously, from Colonia, the place of longing in the fifties and sixties for electronic sounds, comes contemporary-sound BRuCH. György's son Lukas brings the BRuCH ensemble together with his father's interest in Alkebulan's polyrhythms: Burkina Electric - Can you dance humbly? 38,1 % Icosikaihenagone (15,55 % at the Rodelberg stage and 15,55 % at Eny-Yves End) perform Lukas Ligeti’s premere „en même temps“. The morning after… Pentecost… Kylwiria is real, at least in the moersland. Or does Lukas, as a child from Kylwiria, tell us about his father's present from the future? …à propos de mon père"?
