"I don't know," I called out without sound, "I really don't know. If no one comes, then no one comes. Just no one."
Christian Reiner, known as an extraordinary word artist, has the ability to convey the emotional depth of texts in a unique way with his versatile voice and intense presence. In his performances, he creates an almost hypnotic atmosphere through "word eruptions" and the extreme flexibility of his voice. With precise linguistic craftsmanship and physical expression, he unlocks abstract and emotional worlds that deeply resonate with the audience. His ability to work with pauses and silence makes his art a "feast of emotions" that lingers long after.
In collaboration with Reiner, we delve deep into Franz Kafka's complex and tangled texts, allowing a soundscape to emerge that captures the existential themes and inner conflict of his works. Reiner's art becomes an experience that goes beyond merely reciting words—it's an intense, emotional sonic journey. (Simon Raab)

Jazz music of a tremendously elegant quality, the kind that does not linger in the classical realm, but rather unfolds many interesting interconnections to other styles.
