Mela Meierhans1961
Growing up surrounded by contemporary music and abstract painting, Mela Meierhans was greatly influenced by life in her family home. Her fundamental design interests include complexity and openness, interdisciplinary collaboration and the development of interactive scores in the areas of music, dance, film, performance, theatre, installation and architecture. Her works have centred around musical theatre / music in (public) space since 2003. Mela has been working on her "Jenseitstrilogie" since 2006, the emphasis of which is on burial rites. The first part of this trilogy "Tante Hänsi", with its focus on Central Switzerland, was world premiered in 2006. Part two "Rithaa", with its focus on Egypt, is due for completion in 2010 and part three, with its focus on Israel, is due to be finished in 2012.
