Die Wolke art group continues its work on the development and presentation of research and creative materials, and, for the fourth consecutive year, presents its Unit Motives initiative for the creation of solo works on music by 20th century composers. This year, the event aims to explore the different kinetic and choreographic approaches to the interpretation of works by Luciano Berio.
A different dance festival: Eight participant dancers from Greece, Italy, the USA, Germany, and Japan, will present a short solo of their own choreography, made through the exchange of information and video with Die Wolke, that explores the spirit and methodology of musique concrète and the theory and practice of electroacoustic music pioneers. The participants were selected through an open call.
Luciano Berio (1925-2003) is regarded by many as the most naturally musical and least doctrinaire of the post-1945 avant-garde composers. He was a forerunner in the development of electronic composition, as well as the combination of speech and music. He was also an active orchestra conductor and professor, as well as the director of the Studio di Fonologia Musicale in Milan.
