"The Arcades Project" - Bardinale - Light and Word Festival 2009


"The Arcades Project"

Sunday The 6th of September I gave a Light poetry performance dedicated to Walter Benjamin in the Blaue Fabrik in Dresden.


I composed the light performance in 4 parts and each part was accompanied by music.

Part one:

A short "Tango" with female singer calling to mind the city of Bueneos Aires.

Part Two:

A short work from Erik Satie.

Part Three:

Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin du temps"- "Abime des oiseaux"

Part Four:

Aaron Copland's "Quiet City".

After the break the componist Günter Heinz gave a "Sprach-Klang-Performance" working with texts from the Iraqi poet Sargon Boulus.

In dialogue with Günter I interacted with light.
