Double Concert: Calabrun / Il peso dell'aria

Calabrun

Line-up: Mario Giovanoli flt/perc/voc, Felix Rüedi eb/handpan/perc/voc, Simon Steiner handpan/perc/voc

The name Calabrun means "twilight" in Occitan, a symbol of the fluid transition between day and night. The Graubünden formation has dedicated itself to the fascinating sound universe of the handpan. Their warm, spherical sound runs like a metallic-red thread through the trio's music. Accompanied by flute, recorder, percussion, electric bass and vocals, a very special kind of world music is created.

Calabrun plays his own compositions as well as arranged interpretations of songs and rhythms from different regions of the world and combines instrumental music with singing and drum sounds – sometimes pulsating and groovy, sometimes floating and meditative – always with room for improvisation.

Il peso dell'aria

Line-up: Giuseppe Asaro dance, Dorothée Däster dance, Paola Gianoli dance, Marco von Orelli tp, Sheldon Suter perc/dr

A dance and music performance that will appear on an equal footing, together, as a soloist or only in its own disciplines. The weight of the air: or 1,225 kg/m3 (15 °C / 0 m a.s.l.) – A performance about the importance of air. A music, sound and movement journey through the different facets of air – in physics, in life, in philosophy, in language. The air is everywhere.
