Brigitta Muntendorf: Last Show
What if the concert was watching you back? Lines between audience and performer dissolve in this absorbing work, performed by the London Sinfonietta.
In Last Show, German-Austrian composer Brigitta Muntendorf turns the auditorium into a live social experiment.
Set somewhere between a television studio, a concert hall, and a system quietly slipping out of control, this immersive work dissolves the line between audience and performer.
Fourteen musicians operate as both showband and ensemble, while sound mutates between slick entertainment and abstraction, constantly reshaping itself.
Guided by Muntendorf’s concept of Radical Listening, you’re invited to engage, respond, vote, reflect – to step out of anonymity and into the mechanics of the show.
Questions appear, roles shift, content fades. What remains is a shared space where music, technology and social behaviour collide.
Part performance, part fiction, part mirror, Last Show asks not what you think – but how you’re thinking, and who you become when everything is staged.
Welcome to the spectacle.
