Description
Stage environment (after Douglas R Hofstadter: Gödel, Escher, Bach)
[English title, The MU Puzzle]

A media environment was integrated into the stage design of 'Mu-Rätsel', a theatrical production by Hubsi Kramar, shown in the Schauspielhaus Graz as part of the steirischer herbst and in the Schauspielhaus in Vienna. The videotapes and the closed-circuit installation are based on variations of Gödel's mathematical theorems, Escher's drawings and Bach's fugues.
