In the frame of Open Spaces!
Songs as we have never seen them before and dances as we have never heard them before!
How do songs work in their simplicity and how do they manage to enhance our emotions? Through the deconstruction of well-known songs, the singer and composer Eva Pfitzenmaier and choreo- grapher Maik Riebort explore the interrelatedness of auditory recognition and redesign. With the help of a loop pedal, her voice and her body, Pfitzenmaier creates improvised sound collages. This physical and vocal search for tones can be poetic, in- ventive and even banal at times. What happens when the body sings and the voice dances?
