About CONTEST:
The myth of two opponents: Pan – who plays the simple flute, lives in the forest in a glorious freedom. Apollo – sublime, cultivated, confident of victory – either with a bow and arrow or as a virtuoso player of the lyra.
The story of Pan and Apollo tells two life concepts – which „compete“ against each other.
Come, listen and see:
DANCEPERFORMANCE:
Steady movement that cannot be impressed by the whirring sub-bass. A rush of speed sometimes in a collective, sometimes in solitude.
LIVEMUSIC:
The beautiful flute tone – as a counter model.
Wind and string instruments and electronics, brute sounds between minimal, free jazz, modern chamber music and sound art, plus crude beats in surround sound.
VIDEOSCREENING:
2 short films by Jakob Schmid: „Collage C“ shows competitive scenes of people and nature. The flood of images overwhelms and forces the viewer to surrender himself. „base Innere Brücke“ shows the street scene from CONTEST, where passers-by voted emotionally charged on the music of the three oranges.
