Ensemble Resonanz / Zubel / Daletska / Stosser / Pomàrico

Description

A piece about disappearance, about those who drowned off the coast of Europe and the limits of articulation: Aperghis’s »Migrants« interweaves passages from Joseph Conrad’s »Heart of Darkness« with the stories of refugees from Africa who survived the Mediterranean. As it is overlaid, language is shipwrecked, becomes splintered, becomes the lost soul who finds itself again as it fades away. Surging cascades of syllables, abstract sounds, string players parting like waves. Until the music goes so far that it no longer knows how to return.

Supporting programme: »bunkersalon« / 11 January 2023, resonanzraum St. Paul
In the bunkersalon, Charly Hübner welcomes the author Ronya Othmann and the journalist Nadia Kailouli to talk about understanding the incomprehensible: What is Europe doing at its southern border, what is it not doing? Why does it fail to put an end to the death and misery? Do we have to overcome indifference, powerlessness or fear? What keeps us from doing so? All information and tickets
