For the authors, the romantic song in the tradition of the bourgeois salons is a prototype for the objectification of women and the abuse of power in the art industry. The two female interpreters of the song in the music theater literally become projection surfaces; post-digitally processed hybrid beings emerge from voice, instrument and body, acting on the border between physical and digital space.
