VITALITY FORMS – An elliptic Rite

This performance project with Alwynne Pritchard, Gerhard Staebler and Kunsu Shim includes short performances by Pritchard and Shim as well as Staebler’s „music theatre tools“ CHANGE! (for speaker).

Centre piece is the music theatre THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO(THING) Homage to Francesco Cangiullo, which Gerhard Staebler composed for Alwynne Pritchard, with her singular vocal and performing abilities in mind. 

Performance as ceremony, with Alwynne Pritchard taking on the roles of madwoman, shaman, alchemist, vocalist, diva – and dog.
