SUMMARY:CRIPPLED SYMMETRIES – Motifs in Contemporary Music
DESCRIPTION:ALTERNATIVE STAGE – Greek National Opera\, Athens \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrippled Symmetries: Motifs in Contemporary Music\n\n\n\nThe first part of the concert will feature a new work by distinguished Greek composer Zesses Seglias titled … a drop on my fingers\, two lips as a fuzz\, a sun on our heads (is the pattern). This work\, commissioned by the Ensemble KNM Berlin\, is written for percussion\, flute\, clarinet\, violin\, viola\, violoncello\, and double bass. As the composer notes: “A large percussive sound lies at the core of the composition. Large not in volume\, but in terms of harmonic structure and resonance. A slow exploration of these spectral elements —each time within increasingly narrower circles— feeds the very shape of the piece. At times\, windows open\, and time seems to pause. And through these cracks\, sharp beams pass — like reflections of light that are nothing more than reminiscences of the original sound.” \n\n\n\nIn the second part\, the concert turns into an impressive multimedia environment with the presentation of the audiovisual performance-installation … make beauty out of debris…  by composers AnA Maria Rodriguez from Argentina and Juan-Felipe Waller from Mexico. This work for two percussionists\, electronics\, and video projection serves as a musical and political commentary on recycling and social resilience. Inspired by the Argentinian financial crisis (2001-2002) and the phenomenon of the “cantoneros” (cardboard and rubbish collectors)\, this work explores the concepts of circularity and reuse through the sound of paper\, cardboard\, and packaging materials. These everyday materials\, once part of the natural world\, transform on stage into sound bodies\, acquiring a new life and a poetic dimension. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZesses Seglias – … a drop on my fingers\, two lips as a fuzz\, a sun on our heads (is the pattern)Ensemble KNM Berlin: Rebecca Lenton flute\, Theo Nabicht bass clarinet\, contrabass clarinet\, Theodore Flindell violin\, Kirstin Maria Pientka viola\, Cosima Gerhardt violoncello\, Jonathan Heilbron double bass\, Michael Weilacher percussion \n\n\n\nAnA Maria Rodriguez & Juan-Felipe Waller – … make beauty out of debris…AnA Maria Rodriguez composition\, live electronics\, performerJuan-Felipe Waller composition\, analog electronics – devices\, performerThomas Bruns sound\, video \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCrippled Symmetries is a project by Ensemble KNM Berlin in cooperation with Busan International Contemporary Music Festival\, Department of Musicology of the Free University of Berlin\, Frequenz_Festival Kiel\, Goethe-Institut Lima\, Greek National Opera Alternative Stage\, Kultur Büro Elisabeth\, MaerzMusik / Berliner Festspiele and Studio Acht Taipei.Funded by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation).

SUMMARY:The Nine Lives of Zosimos 
DESCRIPTION:Studiobühne Theater Strahl (Kulturhaus Schöneberg) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Nine Lives of Zosimos– a telematic opera across four countries\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n»The Nine Lives of Zosimos« ist eine quasi ortsspezifische Oper\, die für eine telematische Aufführung konzipiert wurde. Die Musik stammt von Jostein Stalheim. Das Projekt findet in vier Ländern mit dem Ensemble KNM Berlin und verschiedenen Ensembles und Sänger*innen statt: Diese kommen am 24. Mai 2026 in Berlin\, Bergen (Norwegen)\, Piteå (Schweden) und Kairo (Ägypten) zusammen. \n\n\n\nDas Libretto schildert eine Reise durch Zeit und Raum\, vom Ägypten des 4. Jahrhunderts bis ins heutige Europa. Eine zentrale Herausforderung besteht darin\, parallele Bewegungen zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart sowie zwischen Nähe und Distanz zu schaffen. Durch den Einsatz telematischer Technologien kann die Präsenz mehrerer Orte in einer Live-Aufführung erzeugt werden. \n\n\n\nDie Aufführung verbindet Improvisation\, Video\, Tanz und Musik. Zosimos Ni Liv ist ein Libretto\, das vom indischen Tanz Navarasa inspiriert ist. Darin werden neun Emotionen – die allen Künsten gemeinsam sind – durch Tanz oder eine andere Kunstform ausgedrückt. Die neun Szenen des Librettos haben jeweils einen ‘Hauptcharakter‘\, während sich die Oper um die wiederkehrenden Themen ‘Freiheit‘ und ‘Angst‘ dreht: Sind wir jemals wirklich frei oder sind es letztendlich immer unsere Emotionen\, die uns leiten? \n\n\n\nLive in Berlin: \n\n\n\nKevin Skelton\, Tenor – RIMOSFederico Visi\, Sophtar\, Elektronik \n\n\n\nEnsemble KNM BerlinRebecca Lenton\, Flöte | Theo Nabicht\, Bassklarinette  | Michael Weilacher\, Schlagzeug | Theodor Flindell\, Violine | Kirstin Maria Pientka\, Viola | Cosima Gerhardt\, Violoncello | Jonathan Heilbron\, Kontrabass  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGesamtbesetzung \n\n\n\nLudvig Lindström\, Bariton – ZOSIMOSSilje Aker Johnsen\, Sopran/Tänzerin – MARIAZsuzsa Zseni\, Mezzosopran – THEODORAKevin Skelton\, Tenor – RIMOSChristine Magdy\, Sopran – AGATHOSAnna Risberg\, Mezzosopran – BLUMENMÄDCHENSilje Onstad Hålien\, Tänzerin – MONSTERBRAUT \n\n\n\nLibretto – Astrid Niebuhr KarlssonMusic – Jostein StalheimVisualisation – Jon HoemCostumes – Janne RobbestadChoreography – Anne Beate Lilletvedt.Sound Design Berlin – Andre Bartetzki \n\n\n\nDirector – Joseph W.

With the use of telematic technologies\, the presence of multiple sites can be created in a live performance.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.zosimos.no
