In the organizer's words:

"The Principle"

The starting point for this unusual evening is the novel "The Principle" (2015) by French author and Concourt Prize winner Jérome Ferrari, who creates a poetry of an alternative understanding of the world based on Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Sampled quotations from "The Principle" act as a kind of soundscape, which is then reacted to both musically and visually. The result is a complex audiovisual texture that plays around the linguistic material and, in the best case, complements and expands it. Joss Turnbull and Claus Boesser-Ferrari are two musicians who explore the limits of their instruments' playing styles and are also very familiar with each other. The result is a comprehensive sound field in which sounds, melodies, rhythms, noises and other sound phenomena come together. The dramaturgy of the evening arises on the one hand from the spontaneous exchange between the musicians, beyond any predetermined rules, and on the other hand as a reflection of the texts played and, of course, the film by Mia Ferrari.
