Circling Realities with Orchester im Treppenhaus
We are more than ones and zeros. We are circles that touch, that overlap. With Circling Realities, the Orchestra in the Stairwell presents a completely new, intense concert experience, created in collaboration with the video collective "noSignal". Nothing stands still here, everything is constantly in motion. Audience and musicians walk in moving circles, which are projected onto the floor in an impressive spatial staging. In the constantly changing scenery, the gripping music by Greenstein, Golijov, Ravel, Majkusiak and Scheuer, played from memory, develops a pull that draws all participants into an immediate experience of closeness and distance. Short, intense, dramatic.
melaTONin with TrioS
In melaTONin, the audience experiences a sleep cycle with all its phases. Falling asleep, light sleep, deep sleep and REM phases are translated into an extraordinary concert installation of space, sound, text and video art. Folk and art songs - appropriate to the respective sleep phase and specially arranged for the unusual instrumentation consisting of two low female voices and accordion - are combined with contemporary accordion works, poetry and texts from sleep research to create a holistic performance concept. Space-filling to space-dissolving video installations (video art: Manuela Hartel), sometimes schematically drawn or disturbingly real, create the fusion between sound and space and open up new possibilities of listening and perception.
