Die Geburt der Tankstelle des Todes

Posted on February 5th, 2009 | By maki | Category: Features, Live Music, Videos

From a performance at Kunstwerkstatt Tulln on October 11th, 2008.

“Die haarsträubenden Irrfahrten des Hilti”, or “Hilti’s Oddyssey of Oddities” is an improvised live science fiction series, featuring the fearsome Space mechanic Hilti who travels the universe together with, and inside, the careless spaceship known as Kapitän, on his way to the mythical Planet Huntopia, home of Commissioner Hun.

This was an early session, where it wasn’t quite clear yet to us that Kapitän is the spaceship. Now it’s official – Kapitän IS the spaceship. The evil gas station aka “Tankstelle des Todes” that emerged in this session will be featured in the upcoming series of Hilti webisodes which are scheduled for launch in autumn 2009.
