He follows his ideas, creates a poetical, rhythmic – quasi musical – oeuvre, carefully and respectfully deploying repetition, reduction and the possibilities of articulation, to provoke tension and serenity, noise and silence.
In a close collaboration with the musician Manuel Troller, some of Fehrs texts became songs. Narrative solo performances and concerts togehter with Manuel Troller have successfully taken place in English (in the US, India and Sri Lanka).
