NUANS
also at NRW-Forum Düsseldorf for Akademie der Avantgarde #5: Pizzacon: NUANS on Pizza and Omniscience and their Self-Taught Musical in conversation with Konstanze Schütze.
"HAYY – A Self-Taught Musical" is based on Ibn-Tufail´s novel "Hayy ibn Yaqzhan / The Self-Taught Philosopher" – a classic of medieval Islamic philosophy, which had a significant influence on Arabic, Persian and European literature. In the context of the story, the pizza serves as an image of abundance, contrasting with omniscience with the other forms of knowledge, especially the figure of "tabula rasa" of the autodidact and the perfection of the expert.
