FIGURENTHEATER

»Die Gräfin und ihr deutsches Autobahnklavier« // Stefanie Oberhoff

An audio clip and travelogue

The Countess (aka Stefanie Oberhoff) and Joe have transformed the German motorway into a piano keyboard.

Each motorway church has been assigned a note:

C = St Christopher’s Church – Kochertal Bridge, A6
D = Light on Our Path – Geiselwind, A3
E = Gramschatzer Wald Chapel, A7
F = Schlüchtern Motorway Church, A66
G = Siegerland Motorway Chapel, A45
A = Medenbach Motorway Church, A3
H = St Christopher’s – Baden-Baden, A5

On a long motorway journey, they play their popular hit ‘In the Pines’, amongst other songs, on these keys!

Concept, programming, performance and music: Stefanie Oberhoff, Johannes Werner
