RETRUCO: Loop Infinito
Initiated by Ana González Gamboa and Ana María Rodríguez, RETRUCO: Loop Infinito brings together musicians and composers from Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia, and Germany in an international co-production with Ensemble KNM Berlin. At its core is a question of transformation and renewal: the European concept of „Stunde Null“ encounters Andean understandings of cyclical time, memory, and community. Two new works by González Gamboa and Rodríguez will be developed during a residency in Ecuador. Concerts, workshops, open rehearsals, live streams, and recordings connect the artistic process in Ecuador with KNM’s network and audiences in Berlin.
