Sound mosaic & own creations with Stefanie & Jonas incl. 4-course dinner

A sonic mosaic of arranged texts from world literature, song lyrics and original creations Participants: Stefanie Amman (speaker) and Jonas Imhof (drums/percussion) Description: The focus is on the dialog between literature with music and rhythm. The music and the spoken language each play an independent part. This results in a creative process of interplay, a merging, but also a clash of different artistic means of expression. Tension is built up through friction and then eases back into harmony. We resist the appropriation and domination of the chosen texts through the power of music as well as a musical accompaniment degraded to a sound backdrop. Instead, the music expands what is spoken in the text, it allows the audience access to new imaginary spaces, it creates an atmosphere of what is described, it opens up space in which the characters of the story meet, in which they feel and are alive. Musical structural principles such as rhythm, phrasing, echo and repetition become the preferred means of presentation that stage the piece. The music becomes effective in creating new ways of conveying meaning. Soundscapes, noises, melodies, improvisations, spoken language and singing as a form of speech form the basic elements of the piece.
