We are delighted to welcome renowned Austrian violinist Judith Fliedl to an evening concert at the ACF, featuring contemporary composers.
dancing with oneself…
What does it mean to stand alone on stage?
When does one enter into contact with oneself - through the voice, through language, through introverted sounds, through expressivity?
And when does contact with the audience emerge?
The concert dancing with oneself explores the role of the soloist in relation to herself, to her instrument, to electronic sounds, and to the audience.
These different forms of encounter are experimentally explored throughout the evening in a moderated concert setting. Drawing on Judith Fliedl’s artistic research - in which she has investigated diverse modes of perception and intersubjective experience - the concert integrates these insights into its structure and dramaturgy. Contemporary music serves as a medium to make relationships audible and tangible: between self and self, between self and other, between self and we.
In this way, the concert opens a space for encounter and reflection on individuality and community.
With works by Lera Auerbach, Kaija Saariaho, François Sarhan, Johanna Doderer, Malin Bång, Esther Mägi, Judith Unterpertinger, Belma Bešlić-Gál.
