Multidisciplinary performance
A dance concert that evokes the wide world of the art song. With a selection of 19th and 20th century German, French and Argentinian composers for piano and voice, Daniel Wendler and Jin Sil Koo navigate an universe where these pieces flow together.
Melodies by Schubert, Schumann, Strauss, Faure, Debussy, Guastavino and Obradors are the perfect excuse for this special perfomance
Luisa from Argentina and Fred from Germany are confronted with their social roles at their wedding. The German tradition of kidnapping the bride shakes the couple’s equality.
There is no room for love in this role-play of marriage

MISA-TANGO - L. Bacalov
Concert
Misa Tango combines disparate elements into a unity by blending different musical genres, creating a nostalgic but joyful musical plot, highlighting the actual character of Tango. Solo voices and instrumental rhythms, bandoneón and solo violin, great quotes. The refrain starts with the Kyries, reminding us immediately of Verdi; then follows the Gloria, with strong echos of Bernstein marked as “Milonga Time”, and there are well pronounced percussion of the Creed, Misa Tango is all this: a complete, exciting work, and always current.

TUMULUS
Multidisciplinary performance
T u m u l u s is a boundless procession of thirteen dancing and singing bodies within the same practice, and as part of the same gesture. This project aims to combine these two arts and to think of dance and music together.
In the middle of the set, a mound takes over the space. It is covered in greenery; it is, simultaneously, a mausoleum and a landscape. It is a volume onto which the dancers-singers and the singers-dancers climb, hide, and flow.

Dance Moves Music Moves Dance
Research
A 5-month research based on multidisciplinary approaches between contemporary dance, art song and baroque music.
Starting from art songs of German, French and Argentinian composers and the BWV 82 (Bach), I searched in collaboration with performers and musicians for possible methods, strategies and constellations that give these pieces of music - through movement - a new perspective and new impulses.
How many possibilities are there to combine dance and music? Are there boundaries between these disciplines? What new poetry can emerge from this?

UBI CARITAS ET AMOR
Performance
​
In a work of music theatre that pits Gregorian chant against dribbling basketballs, Vöcks de Schwindt and their ensemble are on a quest for forms of closeness and intimacy between men. What strength and what serenity is there in Gregorian chant? What closeness and what distance can be found in basketball?
