What’s the limit of this body
in this situation
in this dream

on and on and on and on for what?
who made the rules and how to exit?
I need a game change!
Game Changer!
Jule Flierl & Camille O, tIED tO tONES (Excerpt)
An extraordinary soundscape that touches, impresses and invites: musical craftsmanship combines with radical openness to new communities of listening.
„tIED tO tONES“ is a collaboration between harp-artist Camille O (fka Hans Unstern) and choreographer Jule Flierl. Together they build a harp installation made of piano wire that spans the entire room and is played with bodies, voices, and construction and textile tools. They connect musical material from the Baroque period to songs written and composed especially for the room-harp. Vulnerable, surprising and poetic lyrics flow through the harp strings, questioning how we perceive life, how we hear the world, how we talk and sing about it, and how we can cry together or alone: ‘New thoughts need new tongues / New eyes need new tears’. “tIED tO tONES” begins as a concert, then gradually invites the audience to try out the impressive instrument for themselves, to create a non-hierarchical, shared sound space. An expansive concert performance about future expectations of ecological and physical decay, the need for mourning, listening, community, and a fresh start.
