Theater Luzern: "Der Chor"
Premiere on February 10, 2022.
Silent polyphony for a play that can accommodate a 20-piece choir? Xell has been commissioned to write music for a choir at the theater in Lucerne (Switzerland) that must be neither funny, nor sad, nor atonal, nor sentimental. The subject is a rampage that took place in Lucerne many years ago. How to deal with it musically, in what way to do justice to it?

Theater Heidelberg: Erich Kästner
Premiere on October 8, 2021.
The novel adaptation for the theater stage: "Fabian," originally titled "Der Gang vor die Hunde," is Erich Kästner's masterpiece, a wide-eyed satire of German conditions at the end of the "golden" twenties.
For this, Xell works out a live performance with the actors. Two pianos, a cello in between, countless sofas, and all this on a revolving stage. Will it work?

Volkstheater Wien: Fyodor Dostoevsky
In the spring of 2021. Premiere on September 15, 2021.
Something big is coming. Xell has finished his musical work for the next Dostoevsky play
"Humiliated and Insulted". The novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in 1861, is another novel adaptation for the stage by the great director Sascha Hawemann. Hopefully live soon.
Kritik: Anne-Catherine Simon, Die Presse:„Unterschiedliche Genres mischend, gibt [Xell.s]Live Musikder Aufführung den Puls, die Stimmung vor. Sie konterkariert aber auch hinterhältig sanft das grelle Bühnengeschehen. Wie der Schnee, der so oft still herunterschwebt. Das Sanft und das Rasende – auch von dieser Spannung lebt die Aufführung.“
