Concert featuring Stefan Litwin’s work "Among Friends" (commissioned by KlangForum Heidelberg)

Followed by a discussion with Jakob Köllhofer (DAI) and Stefan Litwin (composer)

The current COVID-19 guidelines are productively utilized as a dramaturgical and artistic challenge. From the perspective of the audience – whose numbers are limited or spread across repeated segments of the event – the pragmatic and theoretical juxtaposition of two poles results in an unusual aesthetic experience, namely arising from the physiology of the human voice and its interaction with spatiality and social impact on the one hand, and its metaphorical significance as the voice of the individual in the private sphere (which requires protection, for example against eavesdropping) or the voter’s voice in the participatory and constitutive acts of democracy on the other.
