Sarah Willis, a horn player with the world-renowned Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, is deeply impressed by the great skill of Cuban musicians, the joy they exude while playing, and their mastery of the art of improvisation. She says: "Mozart should have been born in Cuba!" Already years ago, she thought of a project combining Mozart and Cuban music, and in 2020, she was able to make her dream a reality. The project "Mozart y Mambo" was born: a one-time musical experience that combines Mozart's horn concertos with traditional Cuban music—and includes a mambo version of "A Little Night Music."

We look back at more than half a century of mysterious artistic creation while trying to crack a unique artistic code. Why are people moved to tears when Robert 'Bob' Wilson puts minimalistic petrol pumps into a production of Shakespeare's sonnets? Why does merciless repetition change our understanding of something? Together with Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe or Marina Abramović we trace back our own experience of Bob's art. Is it true what Philipp Glass the collaborator of the milestone piece 'Einstein on the Beach' laughingly and with apparent pleasure exclaims "what does it mean? It doesn't mean anything!"?with: Marina Abramovic, Willem Dafoe, Tom Waits, Philipp Glass, Christian Friedel, Christopher Nell, Ann-Christin Rommen, Stefan Kurt, Sabin Tambrea, and Traute Hoess
