He explicitly requested the viewers to look at it in close proximity to evoke a physical experience of disorientation the adaptability of the eye is overstrained deliberately. In Berlin, the director of the National Gallery received death threats and Newman's work there was also attacked. The most complex restorations that were given to these paintings sparked a national debate about vandalism, which then inspired other artists. "I am a man who acts on impulse in all matters, and when a great amount of electricity has accumulated inside me, something happens," said the Austrian-Slovenian late-romantic composer, Hugo Wolf, about his working method. According to his experience, "there is something cruel about the intimate fusion of poetry and music in which, actually, the cruel role is taken on by the latter only. Music has definitely something vampire-like in itself." "Theater is always opera," says Herbert Fritsch; he does not distinguish between the theater and the music theater. What happens when the anti-compositional visualization of the three basic colors applied to Hugo Wolf's song compositions meets with the poetry of Eichendorff, Mörike and Goethe? With his title "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?" Newman refers to the title of the theatrical play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by Edward Albee. Albee, on the other hand, basically varies the title "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" a composition by Frank Churchill in the year years later Herbert Fritsch and seven singing women ask: Who's Afraid of Hugo Wolf? DIRECTOR / HERBERT FRITSCH Herbert Fritsch was born in Augsburg in 1951, and completed his theater training in Munich. Afterwards he worked as an actor, including many years of experience at the Berliner Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz with Frank Castorf. Fritsch also worked as a media artist, and shot his first films on 16mm / 35mm. He had exhibitions with photo works and computer animations in Germany and Switzerland. Since 2007, he has almost exclusively worked as a director, directing in many theaters including Residenztheater München, Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, Opernhaus Zürich, Komische

Both of his productions in Berlin "Ohne Titel Nr. 1" (2014) and "der die mann" (2015) were invited to the Berlin Theatertreffen, where he was regularly represented in recent years. In the 2013/14 season, Herbert Fritsch presented a production of Dürrenmatt's "The Physicists" to the Zurich audience. In 2014/15, he directed "The Black Pike" by Emil Sautter and Jürg Amstein with the music by Paul Burkhard. SCHAUSPIELHAUS ZÜRICH The Schauspielhaus Zürich is the most prominent theater in Switzerland. Formerly known as "Volkstheater am Pfauen", it was built at today's location in 1888/89 (the name of the adjacent tavern was "Zum Pfauen", which meant "Peacock's"). In 1901, the building was reopened as a theater with Goethe's comedy "The Accomplices". The theater remained a private theater until 1938, when the artistic improvement brought by emigrants from Nazi Germany, such as Leopold Lindtberg and Therese Giehse, went along with the establishment of "Neue Schauspiel AG". Here, the glorious story of the theater begins: under the direction of Oskar Wälterlin, some of the most important plays of Bertolt Brecht experienced their world premiere here. After 1945, numerous performances by Max Frisch and Friedrich Dürrenmatt were premiered at Pfauen. Other distinguished authors, directors as well as outstanding actors characterize the artistic identity of Schauspielhaus Zürich to this day. With approximately 150,000 visitors each year, the Schauspielhaus Zürich is one of Switzerland's most important cultural institutions. Its wide-ranging reputation is reflected not only in the response of the international media, but also by the ensemble's guest performances all over Europe and repeated invitations to Berlin's renowned "Theatertreffen" drama festival. The Schauspielhaus employs 260 permanent staff and an ensemble of about 30 actors, and Barbara Frey has been at the helm since The theatre director's well-known predecessors include Matthias Hartmann, Christoph Marthaler, Gerd Leo Kuck, Harry Buckwitz, Leopold Lindtberg, and Oskar Wälterlin. Barbara Frey is the fifteenth director of the theatre since the "Neue Schauspiel AG" was founded in 1938, and the first woman to hold this post. When she took up her duties, she declared that her programme would focus on "balance and diversity, up-and-coming as well as established directors, great, classic pieces that work as ensemble pieces, with new material and works adapted from other genres being a particular feature. Zurich's theatre is receptive to a broad range of dramatic styles." Matthias Horn
