Antonis Anissegos – piano
The evening is dedicated to one of the most original composers of the last century and an equally original interpreter of his music: Erik Satie and Philip Corner. We leave the motorway and travel by bike on the country road along a route that promises different scents and sounds.
“If his piano pieces are so easy, why are they so badly played? What they have—this must not be violated—is an objectivity all the more solid for being so fragile…they resist all “added expressivity”; they make those who indulge sound ridiculous. Yet nothing is lacking in them.” (Philip Corner)

My face – your face. What characterises us?

Estelle Hanania / Gisèle Vienne: This Causes Consciousness to Fracture
10 pm
Talk between Gisèle Vienne and Anna Gritz following the performance Crowd at Sophiensælen
In sensitive photographs, Estelle Hanania captures the charged, violent and at the same time fragile and poetic moments in the works of artist and choreographer Gisèle Vienne. In her complex oeuvre, Vienne creates sign systems, new languages in which frames of perception are called into question. The photographs of props, scenes, stage sets and protagonists are condensed in the publication into exciting, concentrated snapshots of the influential stage pieces Crowd, EXTRA LIFE and L’Étang as well as the puppets that Vienne creates for many of her productions. Together, Vienne and Hanania present photographic documentation as artistic material and allow the medium of the book to be experienced as a choreographic space. The semiotics of bodies and photographs thus become a common language. The introductory text by curator Anna Gritz and a new, extensive essay by philosopher Elsa Dorlin are dedicated to this progressive and multi-layered work.
Published by Haus am Waldsee in co-operation with Spector Books. 180 pages, German/English/French, 152 colour illustrations, hardcover. From 8th of November on-site at Haus am Waldsee and Georg Kolbe Museum: 49 euros (special price) / In bookshops: 76 euros.

Gerdur Gunnarsdóttir – violin, viola

The duo The Essence of North presents poetic miniatures whose figurative catchiness and embracing warmth allow for complex structures without losing their naturalness – similar to a northern light that needs no explanation to be experienced.
