Two pieces from the cycle “Songs of Sanctuary” by Karl Jenkins will be presented.

“Chorothia”. In Greek “Chorothia” means “choir”. It consists of the words: Choros (Χορός) – dance and Othi (Ωδή) – sound and has its origin in ancient Greek dramas. Based on these images of antiquity and the meaning of the verse in music, I took the singing choir off the pedestal. Language becomes verse, verse becomes rhythm, rhythm becomes movement and movement becomes sound.

Welcome address and vernissage of the exhibitions: “Appia” and “Ursula Sax | Tanz in den Raum – Das Geometrische Ballett und weitere performative Projekte”. Followed by a guided tour through the exhibitions
