In her 2022 production, director Franziska Angerer integrated ballet scenes from Charlotte Edmond's 2021 ballet "Generation Goldfish". Classical and contemporary dance vocabulary was used to depict the world of fish, sea creatures swam past as video projections on the walls of the National Theatre in Munich and the sea gurgled, splashed and spoke from the loudspeakers. The electronic music heard in the production was composed by Katya Richardson.
