In the summer of 2014, Rakete photographed the complete ensemble of the Burgtheater in seventy-seven consecutive portrait encounters. As a location served for weeks offside, equipped with a few props rehearsal stage in the third rank of the theatre, just a few steps from the art gallery of the castle.

As with the rehearsals for a chamber play, the actors and actors of the castle are met eye to eye, and as in the best stage productions, the personality and role of the performers merge into a true performance.
