Concert featuring works by Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf (commissioned by KlangForum Heidelberg), Stefan Litwin, and René Leibowitz, as well as early music
with a lecture titled "Singing and COVID-19" by Dr. Nikolaus Bosch (Heidelberg Voice Center, Heidelberg University Hospital)
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.
