What happens to a city when the global pop circus descends on it for a few days and it suddenly becomes the center of the world?

„Die Gelsenkirchen-Protokolle“ is a musical live audio play by Andreas Dorau and the Tongruppe Hamburg West, an interdisciplinary ensemble of musicians and speakers. The starting point is a real event: the three sold-out concerts by Taylor Swift in the summer of 2024 in Gelsenkirchen. At the center is less the music itself than what unfolds around it – in the city, in the media, and among the local people.

In a form reminiscent of reportage, a multi-layered approach to this event emerges: observations, voices, and situations condense into an acoustic landscape between everyday life and a state of emergency. Language, rhythm, and sound interlock and shape a common narrative.

The format combines live audio play with experimental musical approaches: voices become sound material, musical structures become narrative means. Thus, a performance arises in which listening itself becomes the central approach.

„Die Gelsenkirchen-Protokolle“ focuses on the events surrounding the occurrence – on movements, dynamics, and atmospheres of a city in a state of emergency and on what remains of it.
