Rico Repotente, Lucile Desamory, Fernanda Farah, Yusuf Ergün, Laura Mello, Todosch, Eduard Mont di Palol

17 ABR: The News Blues
18 ABR: Major News / Minor News (estreia mundial)

As notícias do dia funcionam mais como uma constante evocadora do que uma série de sinais relevantes. Contribuem para a nossa sensação de estarmos vivos, de estarmos presentes, mas pouco fazem para provocar ações ou decisões. Nicholas Bussmann aborda as notícias como uma corrente de dados a serem processados por 7 intérpretes que, empregando as suas línguas, executam uma composição ou, por outras palavras,um algoritmo. A composição é um conjunto de simples instruções para estruturar a representação em múltiplos níveis, para filtrar, harmonizar ou decompor as notícias e desencadear a interação social entre os executantes.

Kafkeywordeska - Kafka and the german language in the beginning of the 19th century

Kafkeywordeska is my piece based on Kafka´s book "Letter to his father" or later "Dearest father" (2008 translation by Hannah and Richard Stokes).

This is the story of a duo made of a brazilian girl and an european robot. Me, the "She" in the duo, and my partner the robot Krach, here named "It" were looking for a topic that could unite our pasts, that was our challenge for the concert @ Quiet Cue in Berlin.

Wir feiern dieses Jahr 10 Jahre Grand Prix d'Amour und da es um die Liebe geht feiern wir mit Schweiss und Gänsehaut, Lachen, süssen und bitteren Tränen. Verändert hat sich nicht viel, die Regeln sind die alten geblieben die Liebe fühlt sich auch immer noch so an.

18:00 Eintrit 4€ ermäßigt 2€

Eine Live Übetragung aus der nahegelegenen Umgebung
Für 2 kabellos verstärke Sprecher, Zuspiel und Live Elektronik.

In dieser Sendung wird kein Thema diskutiert, keine vorproduzierten Aussagen gefällt: Alles, was erzählt wird, ergibt sich echtzeit... Oder auch nicht.
Die Sendung wird von keinem herkömmlichen Radioteam produziert, hier sind Menschen nicht wichtiger als das technische Equipment. Sie sind wie defekte Filtergeräte, die durch ihren eigenen unkontrollierbaren Parameter die Wirklichkeit durchlassen.

Musiktheater (to be performed at "Lange Nacht des Musiktheaters" UdK Berlin 2008)

Two observers (a man and a woman) walk through the same space where other things are happening (other pieces from the Lange Nacht, they would be the „observers“ of the night, they could go from one theater play to other and watch the people going outside or at the entrance, talking either about what they´re seeing, either about what they think about it and how they imagine it could look like, if it wouldn´t be what it is. They see the space, the people and their relationship.
