Last weekend we had the honor of performing ‘u’ at the annual gathering of the Khemorex Klinzhai fleet in Farnsberg Germany. This was the first time the opera was performed in front of an almost exclusively Klingon audience.
We battled rain and mud to set up the stage on a spectacular outdoor location at the top of the Farnsberg. The effort was more than worth it as this was by far the most epic perfromance of ‘u’ to date. Our friends of Khemorex Klinzhai seem to think so too. Read some of their reactions below.
To top everything off they decided to make the whole cast and crew of ‘u’ honor members of the fleet! We are greatly honored by this noble gesture and will will try to live up to it in the future.
We want to thank all the members of Khemorex Klinzhai from the bottom of our tiq for this profound experience and hope to seem them again soon!
Qapla’!
Some reactions from members of the fleet:
‘It was a true honour to see ‘u’ in Farnsberg! I never have seen anything like it before! This was truly inspired by the fire of the klingon heart! majQa’! Qapla!’
qoraS aka Lothar Irrgang
‘Ein Buchstabe genügt: ‘u’u'u’u'u’u'u’u'u’u'u’u'u’u’
jotmoS Kobol puqloD & Vantania
‘Die Frage von Floris, ob das Erlebte nun klingonisch genug sei, ist für die Anwesenden unverständlich- es ist bei weitem das klingonischste Erlebnis, welches in den Jahren des Khemorex Klinzhai gegeben hat.’

Publication of the paq’batlh: The Klingon Epic
The book will be available for online printing on demand now for only 15 euros!
A special launch event for the book will be held at the annual qepHom Klingon language meeting on Saturday the 12th on November.
paq’batlh: The Klingon Epic is the definitive edition of the grand Klingon epic of the Kahless the Unforgettable (qeylIS lIjlaHbogh pagh). The story of Kahless is a tale of legendary proportions comparable to those of our own ancient heroes Hercules, Ulysses and Gilgamesh. Betrayed by his brother and witness to his father’s brutal slaying, Kahless is pitted against his bitter enemy, the mighty tyrant Molor. To regain his honor he must travel into the Underworld, create the first bat’leth, and unite with his true love, Lady Lukara, to fight many epic battles. Through this awe-inspiring adventure Kahless redefines what its is to be truly Klingon.
Reconstructed from several sources, this bilingual Klingon/English edition provides a keen insight into the nature of Klingon culture and mythology, and features the first publication of Ancient Klingon (no’Hol) fragments. Meticulously translated by the world’s leading Klingon language expert, Marc Okrand, this classic epic is a must have for anyone interested in Klingon culture and language.
