Music from the Group's Political Theatre Piece on Limited Edition Double LP!
Laibach's 2022 album WIR SIND DAS VOLK (Ein Musical aus Deutschland) consists of the music from the band's political theatre production, Wir Sind das Volk (We are the People), which premiered at HAU (Berlin) in 2020. The piece was based on the writings of Heiner Müller (1929-1995), who was observed as one of the most significant German-language playwrights and poets since Bertolt Brecht.
The artwork for the new album is by the acclaimed Austrian-Irish visual artist, Gottfried Helnwein, known for his narrative reflecting upon historical and political issues. The cover features his work Epiphany I: Adoration of the Magi, which reflects upon childhood and National Socialism.
WIR SIND DAS VOLK (Ein Musical aus Deutschland) is presented in a gatefold sleeve with 20-page booklet and includes a high-definition audio download code with additional tracks.
