When Amorizont inserts the floppy disk into the disk drive, the rendezvous becomes a listening party. Or a dance date. Or both. With intuition, a good ear and dramaturgical ambition, he tells stories that stay with you. Two players, one microphone. Amorizont juggles words and tracks, mixing and remixing existing texts and music in a live performance. For then, when everyone is still sitting and listening. Influenced by Italo disco, Amorizont sets off into the unknown. Genres merge, it's haunted, spaced and darked. But it mustn't be too fast. For any time of day or night. With champagne if you like.

An international team of researchers has discovered that a glass of prosecco a day is not only very healthy, but above all very little. Therefore, for understandable reasons, we recommend drinking at least two glasses of sparkling wine to enjoy the performance of ELIZEN THE EMPEROR. ELIZEN rules the dancefloor with an iron hand and a big heart. Always on the border between kitsch and ecstasy, slowly and powerfully driving.

SKILLS is the new concept album by German composer Sven Helbig. Horns, string quartet and electronics form the sound of the melancholic hymn to the human ability to adapt to extreme circumstances and to push skills to perfection. For the 1-hour concert programme, Sven once again collaborates with the Icelandic video artist Mani M. Sigfusson ( Johann Johannsson, Sigur Ros, Kiasmos, Rolling Stones). SVEN ABOUT HIS NEW PROJECT: "In my parents' living room is an ornately forged copper cauldron - my grandfather's masterpiece, hammered out of a single piece of copper. Growing up in a family of craftsmen, I have been familiar with the attitude of perfecting a thing for its own sake since childhood. The deepened concentration and slow maturation of execution, shares craft with art, with spiritual ritual, with spiritual rituals, with sport. People are moved by the sight of ideal forms, masterly skill and perfection. I dedicate my latest album SKILLS to this fascination. A succession of changing skills has brought mankind to the present day. Originally life-sustaining skills grew into arts and crafts. This reflects the changes in aesthetics, ethics and morals. People describe this transformation differently, in culturally pessimistic dystopias or in posthumanist utopias. SKILLS lives in this field - between hymn and melancholy."

Improband from Leipzig. Floating, cosmopolitan grooves and melodies, funk, jazz, reggae, West African and more.

With "beyondthecanon", the Trickster Orchestra and the jnp want to enter into conversation with different people, develop concert programmes, find answers in order to be able to ask new questions again.
