ECLAT Beginners

ECLAT Beginners

Forays into a new world of music

with Ensemble SPORT

 

 

BEGINNERS

experience ECLAT together with Ensemble SPORT. These are Susanne Brendel, Rafael Ossami Saidy and Simon Kluth, a stage designer, director and actor who normally work on theater projects. They ask questions, get to the bottom of things, interpret. For ECLAT BEGINNERS, they leave their theater terrain and invite you to join them on their forays into the world of new music.

 

On each day of the festival

they create a BEGINNERS project: before and after a joint concert visit, there are introductions, talks, insights into processes, exclusive meetings with the artists and backstage experiences. There are no prerequisites, everything is allowed: asking questions, discussing, criticizing–or simply listening, marveling, enjoying.

 

Experience

the new music together with Ensemble SPORT: enigmatic, surprising, overwhelming, insightful.

 

 

Admission to the BEGINNERS forays is free!

Tickets for the performances are available here

THE DAY FANNY MENDELSSOHN DIED

A special song recital in which the duo Lab51 literally becomes a projection screen. Voice, instrument and body are transformed into post-digital hybrid beings on the border between physical and digital space. info

POETRY AFFAIRS

Five poets and five composers from ten European countries explore the diverse relationships between language and music together with the Neue Vocalsolisten. The result is images and scenes full of rhetorical finesse, powerful, shocking, irritating, sublime poetry, labyrinths of linguistic and musical permutations and subtle shifts in meaning. info

 

 

Start and end: 45 minutes before and 30 minutes after the performance.

Limited number of seats. Please register by stating the desired date at beginners@mdjstuttgart.de
