Klangwerkstatt Berlin 2024

A long evening about communication: about its dangers, its failures and the utopia of success.



Hold the Line

Call queues: a time of waiting, distracting music and not wanting to miss the moment when someone picks up. Hold the Line by Antje Vowinckel (WP) explores the sound of automatic announcements and loops. A concert performance about the Kafkaesque telephone room of the global no man's land.


Immediately afterwards:

tvvo:id

A soloist on stage in a duet with an invisible counterpart. The musicians are separated by place, time and war. One plays live in Berlin, the other is present as a recording made a few weeks earlier during a concert in Kyiv. With the incomplete duo, the Ukrainian concert sends a "signal" from war-ravaged and isolated Kyiv to peaceful Berlin. The Ukrainian musician does not know whether the dialog with his counterpart in Berlin will succeed. Here in Berlin, it turns out as a dialog that the other side can't hear.


tvvo:id is a collaboration between Klangwerkstatt Berlin and the Ukrainian concert platform Kyiv Contemporary Music Days. For this project, KCMD has commissioned the Ukrainian composers Anna Arkushyna (WP), Albert Saprykin (WP) and Ihor Zavhorodnii (WP).
