Through the loo­king glass: Anna Stein­kog­ler, harp and Valen­tin Butt, accordion

In this pro­gram, we let our­sel­ves be inspi­red by three gre­at sto­ry-tel­­lers and phil­an­thro­pists. Not only their works, but also their sen­se of humor, ear­nest­ness and their distas­te for being stuck in a pige­on hole is what attracts us to the com­po­sers Mau­rice Ravel and Ber­nard Andrés and the wri­ter and mathe­ma­ti­ci­an Lewis Car­roll. All three knew about the importance of blur­ring the lines. As OXYMORON, we are con­ti­nuing their tra­di­ti­ons with our own com­po­si­ti­ons. Tickets…

We think of Christ­mas trees, Christ­mals songs and, of cour­se, a lot of pres­ents when we think of Christ­mas. We are hap­py to get them and exch­an­ge them with others. “beschenkt” is all about the over­whel­ming emo­ti­ons around gifts — and that some of the best are­n’t the ones wrap­ped in glitter.

Anna Stein­kog­ler: harp // Valen­tin Butt: bajan // Mar­tin Lutz: live-elec­­tro­­nics // Mer­ce­des del Rosa­rio Appu­glie­se and Flo­ri­an Bil­bao: dance and cho­reo­gra­phy // Chris­tin Vahl: set and stage design // Chris­ti­ne Mel­lich: dramaturgy

Gel­bart doesn’t just bring music to the stage, but pushes open the gate to other worlds. In his com­po­si­ti­on The Por­tal, Final­ly he under­ta­kes a sound expe­ri­ment with influen­ces from avant-gar­­de jazz, sound­tracks of ear­ly sci­ence fic­tion films and works of clas­si­cal moder­nism. The Por­tal, Final­ly asks whe­ther first cont­act with ano­ther uni­ver­se can hap­pen this very evening. The com­po­ser and media artist gathers a 14-pie­ce ensem­ble with instru­ments such as harp, harp­s­ichord and elec­tro­nics under a lar­ge tri­ang­le. This is not meant to repre­sent the titu­lar por­tal, but to func­tion as one. Becau­se in view of a poten­ti­al­ly infi­ni­te num­ber of par­al­lel uni­ver­ses, the tran­si­ti­on into one of them is within the realm of pos­si­bi­li­ty. If ano­ther world emer­ges at the end of the per­for­mance, the expe­ri­ment will have suc­cee­ded. More…
