STAGING
In the beginning there is a thought: An objective, a task, a wish, an idea.
TOM ROEDER inquires and finds the story to the intellectual game – creating tension. The graduate fashion designer translates it into images, well aware of their effect, and lets the music play. Once the moment has come it seems natural: Courage and poetry awake.
What remains is a sense and knowledge of opportunities – incorruptible.

CELEBRATIONS
Being enchanted, seduced, abducted – together. As a destined pleasure gardener, TOM ROEDER puts the ingredients for a wonderful festivity to the point: Light, darkness, music, silence, the unprecedented occurrence and … The dramaturgy is precise. However, a perfect successful party is not 100% calculable – because of the guests. The director embarks on them, responds directly and makes the celebration come to life. The people feel this closeness and share the moment, the irretrievable moment.

LIGHTING
Warmth, coolness, ease, concentration, disturbance, order, connection … The light assumes power when people are gathering. It is faster than anything else and paves the way for discovery. TOM ROEDER knows the nature of light in detail.
He uses it and plays with it. The entire range of conventional lighting equipment is the basis for this game. And it is transformed in reality by the luminous systems and objects developed and built by TOM ROEDER. They endow seeing with feeling, in a distinct way.

STORIES OUT OF THE WHITE SUITCASE
TOM ROEDER has created a figure of light and slips into the role himself.
TOM ROEDER surrounds that with Nino Rota’s music, the composer known for the soundtracks of Federico Fellini’s films. The figure is timeless, reminds of the Italian circus, appears as a shy charmer, and moves towards ecstasy.
Occasionally he flies in sitting in a coach, approaches by a small boat, comes on horseback, or just walks in – but always with the white suitcase in his hand. Out of that come some sparking flowers first, he gives to the audience. Following he gets more and more pyrotechnical treasures out of his white case. He sparks pinwheels, Bengal lights, cascades … until, finally, he stands in a blazing sea of lights.

FIREWORKS
Height, brightness, loudness, explosive mass – fireworks tout for their spectators’ attention by means of quantity, and they are inflationary. TOM ROEDER counters with poetry. He builds up a tension in the dark as if it was a story, stalling and making the spectator unexpectedly feel: This moment is now!
