Performance of new piece with Wave Dash in August and September
Wave Dash Camilla Hoitenga, flute, Magdalena Meiztner, percussion commissioned works from Anne Le Baron, Lisa Streich and Christofer Elgh. All three composers are asked to use their creativity not only for sound but even for the visual aspect of the performance by involving movement, sound installations, self built instrument and more. The composers will include literature in different ways: Christofer Elgh rewrites the poem “Neeijjj” by the swedish writer Sonja Åkesson in his own musical language. Lisa Streich is referring to Peter Handkes idea about duration (“Dauer”). Anne LeBaron composes a contemporary version of japanese Noh-theater, an old samurai tradition that tells different stories about archetypes like the hero, the ghost or the divine play.

Valeries Voice
A woman not only takes her identity and individuality for granted, but knows instinctively that the only wrong is to hurt others, and that the meaning of life is love.” – Valerie Solanas, SCUM
Valeries Voice är en lekfull och experimentell opera för 1 sopran, 4 elgitarrer och elektronik som bygger på Valerie Solanas S.C.U.M-manifest. Genom sopranen Paulina Pfeiffer färdas vi genom Valeries tankar kring karriär, familjeliv, politik, religion och konst. I dessa rum får vi följa Valeries tankar och visioner om en rörelse som radikalt vill förändra villkoren för såväl kvinnor som män.
Helena Röhr har regisserat SCUM till ett musikdramatiskt verk som tillsammans med musik skriven av Christofer Elgh visar på textens komplext mångbottnade och humoristiska prägel. Musiken tillåter oss att snabbt skifta från det allvarsamma till det humoristiska i satiren.
Freebird sågs senast i Malmö i Scenkonstbiennalens program 2015 med den då nyskrivna operan “Den djupaste platsen” som spelades i Ubåtshallen i västra hamnen.
