Carte Blanche: Simon Höfele und Thomas Pfaffinger

In the organizer's words:

Carte Blanche: Simon Höfele and Thomas Pfaffinger

In this "Carte Blanche", Thomas Pfaffinger and Simon Höfele interweave the boundaries between sound, performance and space to create a multi-sensory experience. This concert performance for trumpet and electronics explores the multi-layered relationship between artist and audience, questioning the nature of self-reflection in the context of the performing arts. Pfaffinger's compositional work unfolds in a captivating dialog between sound and silence, closeness and distance. The solo part, played by internationally acclaimed trumpeter Simon Höfele, becomes the voice of the self - sometimes gently whispering, sometimes powerfully proclaiming. Electronic soundscapes play around this acoustic self, distorting it, expanding it and thus creating a fascinating field of tension between human expression and technological manipulation.

The immersive experience is completed by the scenography, developed by Sina Neumann in collaboration with the creative studio Atelier Anthrazit. Light, sculptural objects and spatial design merge into a visual score that transfers the thematic essence of self-reflection into an almost tangible dimension.
