Asasello Quartett

Nature has become an artefact and people and plants have developed a provocative new association. After the end of the world as we know it, a neo-humanoid presence will appear and explore an archipelago of possibilities: invisible biological links and symbioses in which human reproduction is a thing of the past. Inspired by this vision, architecture, dance and music enter a new alliance. The sculpture by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto is not only a stage, landscape and protective space, it is also a musical instrument whose sounds dancers and musicians elicit, share and develop together. The choreography by Stephanie Thiersch and music by Brigitta Muntendorf operate by blurring genres in search of understanding. We are all connected.
Brigitta Muntendorf is one of the most influential composers of contemporary music. She is the founder of Ensemble Garage and develops transdigital music theatre and installations.
The multi-award-winning choreographer, director and media artist Stephanie Thiersch is the artistic director of the interdisciplinary dance company MOUVOIR.
The architect Sou Fujimoto works from Tokyo and Paris on projects that seek an intrinsic connection to nature.
Due to Corona, the soloist choir from Norway cannot be present live as originally planned but will be integrated into the piece via audio and video recordings.
