Stummfilm: Die Stadt ohne Juden  (Österreich, 1924)
Regie: H.K. Breslauer
Musik: Olga Neuwirth (2017)

Der Stummfilm DIE STADT OHNE JUDEN (1924), eine der wichtigsten österreichischen Produktionen der Zwischenkriegszeit. H. K. Breslauers satirische Dystopie zeigt die kulturelle und wirtschaftliche Verarmung einer Stadt, die ihre jüdische Bevölkerung austreibt und ist in ihrer Darstellung des mörderischen Antisemitismus in Wien im Gefolge des Ersten Weltkriegs beunruhigend irritierend und prophetisch. Für Kinobesucher oder jeden, der sich für die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts interessiert, ist dieser österreichische expressionistische Film unverzichtbar. Die österreichische Komponistin Olga Neuwirth wurde vom Wiener Konzerthaus und weiteren Partner beauftragt diesen außergewöhnlichen Film um eine musikalische Dimension zu erweitern. PHACE wird neben der Welturaufführung im Wiener Konzerthaus auch die britische (London) und deutsche Erstaufführung (Hamburg) bestreiten.

In the 32nd edition of the Easter Festival, we are particularly pleased about the joint commission to Johannes Maria Staud. Tōru Takemitsu's composition Between Tides is a game of awakening and passing away

Bodies moving, in space. She sings, wheezes, breathes – standing, turning – she kneels, lies, rolls before my feet, her high voice walks along, I can hear it down to my soles. Get lost in these tense bodies crawling all over the dance floor. Trembling. So close to these people. Don’t stop singing now!

In the concert Tunes, lines and tracks, memories and meanings interweave to form mesmerising sound structures: The cry of the Phyllobates terribilis (golden poison frog), whose poison filled the blow dart arrows of the Columbian Embera, is the base material for the oboe section in Wolfram Schurig’s work; kokoi for oboe and ensemble paints a picture of the ambivalence of perfect beauty and death...

From listening, and not so much from the sound itself; from our way of relating to sounds and their memory, and not so much from their materiality. These are some of the main starting points of the work of Austrian composer Peter Ablinger, one of the most singular and influential composers of the last 20 years, always questioning our listening habits and pointing towards new poetics of sound.

Fieberhaft und sarkastisch gestaltet sich die kuriose Show „HELL“ von Sarhan: Rhythmisierte Stimmen aus dem Off treffen auf zeitgenössische Klangphrasen, vermischt mit Versatzstücken aus Jazz, Rock und Pop. Weder eine Show, noch ein Konzert. Eher ein vielfältiges Set, in der Form eines Radio-Sarhan-Studios. Das Set zeigt acht Musiker*innen und Mikrofone, Kammermusik großzügig verwoben mit Rockmusik, Computer, Samples, Wörter, Körper,...

How many faces do we meet without actually seeing them, without knowing their memories? With irony, strength and energy, RECALL tries to put us in the shoes of others, to look at their history, to discover them. In his work, Ondřej Adámek processes voice samples from friends and robotic aspects of Japanese ways of life into powerful, repetitive, machine-like collages ...

The appeal of non-European music has existed for centuries. But mostly it was only used as an exotic coloring for thoroughly western music. This only changed in the music of the late 20th century. After intensive study of the Arabic maqamat, the microtonal harmonic and melodic elements of oriental music, Friedrich Cerha and the Swiss Klaus Huber created...

The curious show "HELL" by Sarhan is feverish and sarcastic: Rhythmic off-screen voices meet contemporary sound phrases, mixed with set pieces from jazz, rock and pop. Neither a show nor a concert. More like a diverse set in the form of a Radio Sarhan studio. The set shows eight musicians and microphones, chamber music generously interwoven with rock music, computers, samples, words, bodies, ...

A unique cosmos full of music, stories, pictures and films fills the workshop stage on two consecutive evenings. The French artist François Sarhan seduces the audience with real and deceptively real stories, enigmatic figures and mysterious sounds.

FLASHFORWARD observes the contrasts between surging flow and solid form, between artificial landscape and natural environment. Wolfram Schurig's kokoi can be understood as a commentary on the traces of human activity and deals with the sounds of threatened ecosystems. The call of the Phyllobates terribilis (golden poison frog), in whose poison the Colombian Embera soaked their blowpipe arrows, serves as the basic material for the oboe part in kokoi...

Notation has a central role in the works of Christoph Herndler. His scores are precisely designed geometrical graphics and can be viewed as artworks themselves. The visual construct of notation serves simultaneously as a principle of organization and as a means of producing unforeseen musical situations and acoustically amazing moments. The rigid geometric shapes provide a regulated procedure...

Inspired by the descriptions of the effects of mescaline in the works of Henri Michaux, Fausto Romitelli's work is all about "the artificial, the distorted, the filtered." Romitelli forges sound sculptures that materialize like surreal musical visions of the deformations, distortions and disfigurements in Francis Bacon's paintings. Influenced by the distorted and "dirty" sounds of psychedelic rock music, Romitelli creates a unique music

A woman, on the run from her own reflection, pursued by invisible enemies, driven into an errant scenario of annihilation. A horror-like dance of faces and reflections that spills over the edges and takes possession of the space outside. With music by Clara Iannotta, Peter Tscherkassky's short film Outer Space unfolds an almost overwhelming sensual effect...

Opus latericium ist von einer römischen Lehmziegelbauweise der Kaiserzeit inspiriert. Dreieckige Ziegel, zu einer gepunkteten, polierten, harten und feuerfesten Oberfläche vereint: von der Außenseite durchbricht die repetitive Musik von Mikel Urquiza zerstörerisch hämmernd im Zeitraffer die harte Schale, legt die Ruine frei. Was von der Mauer stehen bleibt zeigt nur noch wenig Ähnlichkeit zum Anfang, ...
