Declaration
film director
“Physical stress is a widespread problem among musicians. And with it comes the anxiety before the performance, states of exhaustion, acute hearing losses and drug abuse. At the same time it’s highly tabooed to speak about those severe disorders not only in the field of classical music. With Prélude I want to address the feeling of a generation, a feeling not to be good enough.”
