F. Dembski:
"Szenischer Entwurf für die Installation "prayer" (Taiwan)"; (2011).

Prayer was a temporary musical and architectural installation by Shih (composition) and Fabian Dembski (design and mis-en-scene) for the centennial of Republic of China.
The oratorio was performed in november 2011 at Sun-Moon-Lake situated in the center of Taiwan. The existing architecture of Norihiko Dan with its impressive ramps and bridges was not only used as scenery but due to the special arrangement of the musicians and its extraordinary acoustics it was used as a musical instrument too. Also the surrounding - the lake, the sky and the mountainous landscape - was incorporated in the installation on different levels.
The production was planned for full orchestra (83 musicians on stage), a women´s and a children chorus (approx. 400 singers), one soloist singer and for 72 timbals which were positioned in a circle on the buildings ramps, bridges and the surrounding area embracing the audience.
