„Nach der Apokalyptik" – Toccata & Vision
Toccata „Die apokalyptischen Reiter" – Vision „Wasser des Lebens" 2021
While the “apocalypse” is a biblical narrative from the Gospel of St. John on the end of the world, “apocalypticism” refers to an apocalyptic atmosphere or doomsday prophecy. The Corona virus, which is rampant worldwide from the Himalayas of Asia to the rainforests of South America, creating a fear that has paralyzed public life, culture, and human interaction in ways previously thought unimaginable, comes close to such apocalypticism. No one knows how long the scourge of this fear will hold humanity captive and when uninhibited communication, contact, and friendly embraces will be possible again.
