While known for albums featuring narrative and vocals, Rediger is also a founder of the Group2030 – which investigates ideas about the future as manifested in contemporary projects – has curated a late-night programme for Deutsche Oper’s 2019-20 season, was part of the Konzerttheater Bern, and took part in the Big Band-Orchesters Brigade Futur3.

With collaborator Dorine Mokha, Rediger countered the current dystopian climate by creating new, futuristic imagery in contemporary documentary and speculative post-colonial music theater. Through their productions Oh Boyoma. and Hercules of Lubumbashi, they explored art's ability not only to formulate critique, but to envision concrete solutions or alternatives to current conflict situations. After Mokha passed away, Rediger continues the legacy with Group 50:50, another collaborative project.
