As a sought-after countertenor and performer, Daniel Gloger devotes himself entirely to his work. Performing every week in a different city and rarely sleeping in his own bed, he lives a nomadic lifestyle that requires absolute dedication. The boundaries between work and private life are fluid. To keep this up, Daniel optimizes his »I-time«: he practices meditation, tries to respect the needs of his body, takes time for relaxation exercises and expands his intellectual horizon through literature, music and art. After all, he lives in a time in which personal and spiritual well-being can be realized thanks to a multitude of intelligent solutions, even when time is tight. On the 3rd floor of the Theaterhaus, where Daniel has moved into a guest apartment, the artist offers the ECLAT audience the opportunity to visit him on site and gain an insight into the peculiarities of his daily routine and his very own private lifestyle.
