Performance: 1h

Beschwörung is the german word for incantation and concludes the time periods of my studies in Kassel, the Corona-Isolation and the writing process of my novel „Gründämmerung“. It is a salmagundi of live music, vocals, dance, virtual Reality and Projection. Percussionist Lukas Prelle improvizes with me to a set of tracks, that I produced as reading music to „Gründämmerung“.
In reciprocal conjuring we tell a story about the Crown-of-thorns Starfish
invading a new ecosystem. By this metaphor I tried to reflect about the pandemic time, without making vain contributions to overtaxed Corona-Talks. Beschwörung shouldn’t be a lament to what the pandemic has taken. Instead, it is a celebration of returning public events and performative art.
