To the beat of silence

Amateur musicians take their places at sewing machines - not to process fabric, but to "sew" rhythm.
Amateur musicians take their places at sewing machines - not to process fabric, but to "sew" rhythm. Under the direction of conductor and composer Beat Jaggy, the whirring of the machines creates a pulsating basic rhythm that carries through the room like a heartbeat. Two professional musicians unfold their soundscapes above it: Ephraim Salzmann on the hammered dulcimer and Joel Schmidt on the saxophone. The result is a dialog between precise beat and free playing, accompanied by a large-scale video installation in the castle's portico. Photographs and projections wandering over the historic walls bring Rilke's world to life in light, color and movement, while poems and texts are read between and interwoven with the musical passages. They were written as part of the Rilke Year in collaboration between schoolchildren and the author Hubert Theler. In this way, Rilke's spirit speaks not only from his own works, but also from the young voices of the present day.the Biez concert is not a classical performance, but a shared experience of sound, image and language. A celebration of participation in which the boundaries between audience and stage, between craft and art, become blurred. Here people sew, play, read, watch - and above all listen.
