2024 November 29, 6:00 p.m. “Concert and Installation for Piano and Furniture” produced by “Kosmos Theatre”, theater of visual experiments, will take place.
The event is free.
ABOUT THE CONCERT AND THE INSTALLATION
A live concert and a sound sculpture and installation linked by sound technologies examine the dualism of the domestic-physical and artistic-ideal nature of the piano – the paradoxically harmonious roles of one of the most popular musical instruments and home furniture.
Croatian pianist Ivo Pogorelich has said that a piano without a pianist is just a piece of furniture. It is a piece of furniture in the house, usually loaded with vases and services, whose real concert and musical potential, regardless of its manufacturer and mechanics, is determined by the people around it.
Is our potential all up to us? How can a piece of furniture that has smothered music in itself break free from its closed lid? What kind of dreamlike creature does the vocation locked inside us and trying to escape with all our might make us?
These questions will be explored in a concert featuring excerpts from the most important pieces of piano music, during which the live music will become a sonic dream of a transformed piece of furniture.
The creation of artwork was produced by visual theatre “KOSMOS THEATRE”. More information about the work and theater activities: www.kosmostheatre.com and social media.
