Concept and Idea
Forms and content from performance, music, and dance find themselves.
Since 2015, we have been working with music, movement, and space.
Not in the concert hall. Not on the theatre stage.
We have built spaces out of paper, worked with air and sound, developed movements from geometric forms, composed music for bodies and spaces.
We do not think of sound as separate from movement. We do not think of movement without space.
What we do often emerges from improvisation.
We set rules, define parameters. This creates structures. Within these structures, freedom emerges.
For us, freedom does not mean that everything is allowed.
Freedom means: something begins. And we observe what becomes possible.
In any case, everyone tells stories together—sometimes the audience as well.
We have translated chamber music into the physical.
We have made architecture resonate.
We have translated noise and voice into movement.
Our works arise from places, people, and moments.
“Freedom” means “being among friends.”
We don’t write stories that need to be understood.
We build spaces in which perception becomes possible.
Those who want to will find their own story within them.
Why contemporary art?
Justifications make things smaller. Still:
Did anyone ask Mozart why he didn’t play Bach?
Did anyone ask Pollesch why not Shakespeare?
The themes of the present need living artists.
They need open forms. They need exchange.
Art doesn’t have to explain. But it has to take place.
Our reason for what we do:
The thing itself.
A way of life. A statement for meaningful work with the means we have.
In exchange with others. In the context of the time we live in.
