INTERSTELLAR 2 2 7, initially founded in 2014 by soprano and performer Barbara Schachtner and pianist and accordionist Dorrit Bauerecker, was completed in 2017 by painter and scenographer Norbert van Ackeren as part of the production ‘SUPERNOVA’ to form a three-member musical theatre ensemble. All ensemble members are based in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The ensemble’s productions can be characterised by a synthesis of artistic forms of expression that transcend the boundaries of habitual perception. In this context, the name INTERSTELLAR has a double meaning. On the one hand, it refers to the transcendent artistic dimension, i.e. the ability to transcend the limits of sensory perception, material reality or individual consciousness and to establish a connection to something beyond the everyday, as well as to the exploration of spheres beyond our imagination. On the other hand, the name represents an invitation to the audience: to embark on a journey into unknown, infinite expanses of artistic possibilities.
