SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE | MARKUS KUPFERBLUM: ON A STRING
DESCRIPTION:\nTherese Cafasso, Performance and Music\nMax Shire, Performance and Music\nMarkus Kupferblum, Performance and Directing\nABOUT THE PERFORMANCE\nImagine you are a tiny being and suddenly find yourself standing on a string. First of all, you’ll try to find your equilibrium, to balance to survive. A string gives you two options: to move forward or to go backward. It’s as linear as time appears. Struggling between two options, past and future, equilibrium and falling, you are caught in one essential moment: the present.\nImagine you are present at a point of the invention of music when one sound suddenly becomes essential to all others: the sound of the A string. You hear all sounds being born, crackling and grinding, resonating and charming, all of them responding to the first, the major: the A string.\nWe live in this present together, all of us on life’s string. We never know if our string will snap if it’s long, durable or short and brittle. We never know where our personal string will bring us to. But in the way a sound responds to another, forming music, melodious or discordant, all of us are tied together in one big moment: the present. This we know.\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nMusician and performance artist Therese Cafasso lives and works in Vienna and is also active in film and street art. She studied German literature at the University of Vienna and Karlsruhe and music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, majoring in piano. Next to violin and a number of other instruments, the piano is essential for her musical productions, her styles of playing ranging from baroque to contemporary music with a special focus on prepared piano. Her stage work combines musical improvisation, visual art, theatrical performance and Mask Theater. Her aim is to find new ways of storytelling, transferring atmosphere and inviting the audience to intimately experience music and theater with all their senses.\nBorn in Kansas, dancer, musician and performer Max Shire studied at the Carl-Orff-Institute, the University of Mozarteum Salzburg and the Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya.
