music

Since 1997 he has been working as a freelance composer and author for incidental music at the following German theaters, among others: Staatstheater Braunschweig , Theater Ulm , Kleist-Theater Frankfurt (Oder) , Theater Chemnitz and Theater der Altmark , Stendal.

Ballet music, cabaret songs and music for drama and children's theater pieces as well as other theater-related genres originate from his pen, mostly produced as a computer-aided one-man orchestra.

During his acting career, Renatus Scheibe met the Austrian actor, director and playwright Albert Frank , with whom he stood on stage for a number of years. For his works Renatus Scheibe developed several pieces of music (among others for the plays The President and the stage and radio play version by Blauensteiner ). Both have a long-standing friendship and a tendency towards absurd and sometimes black humor.

For example, in the play The President (world premiere: November 5, 1999, Kleist Theater Frankfurt / Oder, director: Albert Frank), all the characters step out of the stage situation for a chanson in the style of a cabaret and reveal their real and in front of the Other characters hidden ego: in the banana blues the main character Commissioner Ullrich shows himself to be extremely fearful of genetically modified bananas, in the pigeon polka one of her colleagues outed himself as a pigeon hater and killer, in the football waltz a blackmailer indulges in omnipotence fantasies about the DFB and finally, in the power failure chorale , “tough investigators” turn into frightened individuals as soon as they feel helpless in the darkness of a power failure of the underworld. The music to Blauensteiner also has absurd traits: Scheibe specifically uses artificial, distorted and out of tune sounds, scraps of sound and fragments of sound that are thematically related to the piece's content, or quotes folk music motifs in a piece of music called Mutanten-Stadel, moving close to musical trash .
