JOSÉ MARÍA SÁNCHEZ-VERDÚ: ATLAS - INSELN DER UTOPIE
with NEUE VOCALSOLISTEN / SOLISTENENSEMBLE KALEIDOSKOP
The “space” – in this case the stunning gallery in the Herrenhausen gardens – is transformed into a type of “bowl” containing utopias which change, overlap, are interdependent or antagonise each other. The concept of utopia with its associations of freedom and self-determination is an ideal, political, social and spiritual entity bordered by walls or rules, but neither tangible nor mappable. Non-tangible spaces created through sound and light are created in the enormous gallery in which the audience can move freely and select their own perspective of the action – either wandering around or sitting or reclining at will. The soloist ensemble Kaleidoskop – familiar to KunstFestSpiele visitors – will be augmented by international soloists on Baroque instruments and the vocal roles undertaken by members of the Neue Vocalsolisten, one of the best ensembles of its kind worldwide. A new instrument, the auraphone with its fascinating sounds, is waiting to be discovered.
