Incredible masterpiece of Art Totale. Musicians / actors / performers are playing here invented instruments. In the vein of Kagel's Exotica and Acoustica recordings. "Staatstheater" is probably the piece that most clearly shows his absurdist tendency. It is described as a "ballet for non-dancers", though in many ways is more like an opera, and the musical instruments used include chamber pots and enema equipment. As the work progresses, the piece itself, and opera and ballet in general, becomes the subject matter. Similar is the radio play Ein Aufnahmezustand (1969) which is about the incidents surrounding the recording of a radio play.
