A staged live music and cartoon film performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

George Herriman\u2019s \u201cKrazy Kat\u201d conquered the art scene as the very first comic strip 100 years ago and continues to this day to be greatly admired by connoisseurs of the genre. Now Ensemble Musikfabrik initiated the worldwide first film and music production based on the great American comic classic, with new compositions from the American composers David Lang and Oscar Bettison, as well as music from the composer, theorist, visionary, and instrument maker Harry Partch. On 22nd of October \u201cThe Krazy Kat Projekt\u201d had its premiere at TONLAGEN \u2013 Dresdner Festival der zeitgen\u00f6ssischen Musik<\/strong>. Subsequently the production opened the festival NOW! Parallelwelten<\/strong> by the Essen Philharmonic and had been presented to the Cologne audience in the concert series \u201cMusikfabrik im WDR\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The newly drawn and animated comic episodes from animation artist and director Paul Barritt tell new stories of Krazy, the goodhearted and mouse-love-sick cat, and Ignatz, the scheming and devious mouse in an original and unparalleled way, driving the two main characters to greater and greater levels of craziness. Paul Barritt is cofounder of prizewinning theatre company \u201c1927\u201d, which enchants with a mixture of live performance and animation and attained great success with amongst others their production of W. A. Mozart\u2019s \u201cDie Zauberfl\u00f6te\u201d at the Komische Oper Berlin and their newest piece \u201cGolem\u201d at the Salzburg Festival.<\/p>\n

In addition to the two commissions given to David Lang and Oscar Bettison \u2013 not for film music, but to develop their own musical versions of the cat and mouse game \u2013 the eleven part Partch cycle, \u201cEleven Intrusions\u201d (1949\/59), was heard in Europe for the first time. In a short documentary film the film historian and journalist Daniel Kothenschulte furthermore told the story of the cartoonist George Herriman (1880-1944) and his main characters.<\/p>\n
