Cabaret Crusades

The music for the sensational marionette film Cabaret Crusades – The Secrets of Karbalaa by the Egyptian artist Wael Shawky was developed by the students Raffael Seyfried (Music and Media) and Moritz Laux (Sound and Video).

The three-hour film is the third in a series of marionette films about the Crusades and premiered at MOMA, New York City, in 2015.
The musical plane merges with the film to produce an idiosyncratic examination of the history of religion.
