What are the relationships between a spider's growth, the sound experience of radiotherapy and the lights and clicking sounds of old-fashioned slide viewers? The work of Clara Iannotta, of which this concert offers a journey through its recent years, is a mode of self-knowledge, or an autobiography in which sound and body are intimately linked.
Karlheinz Stockhausen Donnerstag aus Licht – Acte 3
Donnerstag (Thursday), the first opera of the Licht (Light) cycle, to which Karlheinz Stockhausen devoted twenty-five years of his life, is the day of Archangel Michael, his youth, journey around the earth and his return. It is also an autobiographical moment in time, overwhelmingly so, in a spiral that leads to the stars and the harmony of the universe.

A House of Call, a vast, lavishing, Babylonian imaginary notebook of Heiner Goebbels' travels around the world, is a sum total of sounds, styles, languages, cultures and voices. It brings us the voices of the living and the dead, recorded over the course of just over a century. Its orchestra responds to the grains of these voices, thereby renewing a centuries-old tradition of responsorial art.
