    [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_wp_text][/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Clash de Cartier was an experimental music theatre and fashion show, commissioned by Cartier and art-directed by Tilman Kanitz. It was held at the Eissbach Studios in Munich. The audience was separated from the stage by a 30-by-8-metre transparent foil to keep the stage filled with fog and the audience space clear. Spectators experienced a dance and music performance that appeared and disappeared into the white clouds like ever-changing, blurred tableaux vivants. The music ranged from Purcell and Handel to contemporary pop and electronic music, including a premiere by Yello.

    Kolik von Rainald Goetz

    Ein Musiktheaterprojekt von Jannik Giger, Leo Hofmann und Benjamin van Bebber mit Sarah Maria Sun und Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop

    Der Riss durch die Welt geht mitten durchs Gehirn. Im Blitzlichtgewitter der Synapsen orchestriert “Kolik” die radikale Selbstbefragung eines sterbenden Ichs und die letzten Sekunden eines widersprüchlichen Lebens. Die Komponisten Jannik Giger und Leo Hofmann übersetzen gemeinsam mit dem Regisseur Benjamin van Bebber Rainald Goetz’ apokalyptischen Monolog in ein vielstimmiges Solo für die Sopranistin Sarah Maria Sun, Elektronik und ein Instrumentalensemble. Entstanden ist ein Gewebe aus Text, Gesang, Instrumentalmusik und Hörspielpassagen, das den Goetz’schen Wortkaskaden in all ihrer Vieldeutigkeit nachspürt.

    Der nur selten aufgeführte Text umkreist Motive von Identität und Paranoia und sucht nach einem offenen Umgang mit der Informationsflut Welt – und gewinnt damit 20 Jahre nach seinem Erscheinen erneut an Aktualität. Zum vielleicht letzten Mal trifft sich in den ruinenartigen Resten eines Konzertsaals ein Ensemble von Musiker*innen des Berliner Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop und Schweizer Solist*innen, um unter der nervösen Leitung seiner Dirigentin gegen die Zumutungen der Welt an zu musizieren – und daran zu scheitern. Das Ensemble ist als Multiplikator und Gegenüber der Protagonistin integraler Bestandteil des szenischen Kosmos. “Kolik” ist ein zeitgenössisches Passionsspiel über den Krieg im Kopf, das Rauschen der Welt und unsere Verletzlichkeit in einer hyperbeschleunigten Gegenwart.

    ERNSTALBRECHT STIEBLER is a composer of minimalist and reductionist contemporary music. Having attended the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music from 1958 onwards, Stiebler decided in 1963 to leave serial music behind and instead opt for his own reductionist style built on minimalist structures and repetitions, though not in any way related to the so-called Minimal Music but rather influenced by Minimalism in visual art. In terms of composers of his time, the closest stylistic relationship that could be drawn is to Morton Feldman. Stiebler’s approach is best summarized in his own words: “Music is too important to burden it with emotions.”

    His honors include the Bach-Preis Hamburg (1966) and a prize from the Stille Musik composition seminar in the Künstlerhaus Boswil (1991). Moreover, two of his productions for Hessischer Rundfunk received the Prix Italia Special Prize: Piece for Peace by Alvin Curran and Die Blinden by Walter Zimmermann.

    Mr. Stiebler is also active in other positions. He served as director of new music for Hessischer Rundfunk from 1969-95 and founded the concert series Forum Neue Musik there in 1989. He co-produced numerous CDs for Hessischer Rundfunk in collaboration with the Hat Hut label, including the series devoted to the New York School (John Cage, Morton Feldman and Christian Wolff). In addition, he has written numerous essays for Musik-Konzepte, MusikTexte, and other music journals, as well as booklet notes for the Montaigne Auvidis CD of Words and Music by Morton Feldman.

    Schwebstoff/Leuchtstoff is a series alternating between acoustic and electro-acoustic forms of experimental music. (Curators: Burkhard Beins, Werner Dafeldecker, Simon James Phillips)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

    Returning Home II

    Penelope waits half her life for Ulisse to return, making longing her purpose in life, before Ulisse reappears after decades of war and wandering. What has remained of the former familiarity? Is it even possible to return home after what has happened? And what does home mean for each individual? The music theatre piece RETURNING HOME, directed by Ludger Engels and conducted by Tilman Kanitz, explores these questions using Claudio Monteverdi’s opera Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria (1640) in reflection of Korean gagok songs that were composed at almost the same time.

    The musical forms of expression, which at first seem so different and deal with motifs of home and longing in different ways, meet, overlap and connect in the musical and spatial dialogue of two ensembles. This connection creates spaces for new things and places of encounter with oneself.
