Inspiration, passion and creativity unite five innovative concerts that will be performed at the resonanzraum in St. Pauli from 22.11. - 24.11.2019
Artists illuminate the otherwise invisible. Their creative visions electrify reality and enable us to grow beyond the mainstream. The imagined futures they unleash drive the world forward. They are the source, their courage activates the power in others.
Sounding light, danced ecstasya mighty flight and extreme sensuality: the first concert of this year's festival takes place in this exaggerated fantasy world of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. Based on Scriabin's vision of a unique, all-encompassing work of art,
Vers l'extase experiments in various constellations with the modern possibilities of media, music, light, dance and language. Pianist Fabian Gehring and his team will reinterpret Scriabin's vision of a "piano of light".

On the same evening, Janina Luckow and Xiao Fu will pose existential and uncomfortable questions with "Your wealth is my terror", which they will reinterpret musically and with video installations. The starting point of the performances are three texts that tell of physical violence with determination and as an act of resistance. Observing, encouraging, accusing, they say: "Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger".
The strong female duo is complemented by Huihui Cheng (composition, electronics),
Julia Mihály (composition, voice, electronics), Lin Chen (percussion), Susanne lan-Kabel (harp). | Friday 22.11.2019 at 20.00 in the resonanzraum
Spatial hierarchies are broken up, new forms of communication emerge. The (de)concert deconstructs and reassembles, the connection between musicians and audience is intensified to expand sensory perception. Detached from conventions, the globally unique ensemble MIRROR STRINGS performs with two guitars and two cellos in the resonanzraum, which is completely rethought by communication designers Canan Bunk and Annika Dobbrodt (HAW). The classical concert setting takes on a new meaning. Saturday, 23.11.2019 at 20.00 hrs | Audience discussion at 21:30 hrs
On socks through the concertBeing in the concert hall and not in the concert hall at the same time is the interplay between hermetic seclusion and sonic openness. From her everyday practice, pianist Adriana von Franqué knows how inspiring it can be when the sound of the grand piano mixes with noises from the environment. Together with multimedia composer Carlos Andrés Rico, she invites concertgoers to explore this world of inspiration in their socks and free from their winter footwear. | Sunday, 24.11.2019 at 17.00 hrs
Premiere of an art form: the concert talk. When contemporary music and satirical political talk shows collide, worlds collide. The interference of the concert with compositions in a reverent gesture on the one hand and the talk show in succinct and spontaneous discourse on the other creates a tremendous explosive force in which each genre constructively questions the other. "Work", the theme of the talk show, winds its way deep into the bowels of the concert and the strictness of the musical composition exposes rhythmic structures in the political discussion. In MY DAY OFF ON, Felix Stachelhaus questions some of the basic values of artistic work. Sunday, 24.11.2019 at 20.00 hrs
At the end of the festival: Aftershow party - DJ Ann will put a smile on your face and a groove in your legs. Celebrate, develop new visions is the motto of the evening. | Sunday, 24.11.2019 at 9.30 pm
