ROUNDABOUT

LAST / Madness Ensemble: roundabout (2021)
for two artists and four improvising musicians
World premiere

The former industrial estate in Uetikon am See is being used on a temporary basis by various small businesses. In a few years, they will make way for new school buildings. But before these can be built, the lakebed at the site has to be completely cleaned, as it is contaminated with heavy metals. In the dark months of the year, the art collective LAST is scanning this area-in-flux with a mobile play of coloured light and is enlivening its architecture with shadowy figures. Accompanied by a musical procession provided by members of the Madness Ensemble, this «Sound Parcours» will lead to the workshop of Klang & Raum, where there will be warm drinks and a cosy get-together. The ensuing concert performance will take up this play with light, colour and shadows. In collaboration with the improvisations of the musicians, works on paper will be created in real time to record the events in the space in question.

Suitable for all who like to sit, watch and listen for 40 minutes.

Sincere thanks to our venue partner Atelier Klang & Raum.
