Eraritjaritjaka
Eraritjaritjaka (2004) is a musical theatre production by Heiner Goebbels.
Eraritjaritjaka is the Aborigines' word for longing,
In the theatre production the actor André Wilms performs texts from the diaries of the writer Elias Canetti, while the recognised string quartet Mondriaan Quartet responds with music by composers including Shostakovich, Bach and Gavin Bryars.
Music, text, light and image merge in a production proving that theatre cannot always be classified within certain categories.
