LEONIE SOBEK - Ein Ausflug in die Metaebene

In the organizer's words:

Bachelor graduation concert

The trip to the Metabene goes... in every direction? ...combines thoughts, concepts, politics and art forms. The starting point: the big picture, the big bang, who knows? Nothing vegetates in a vacuum, not even music, because there is always a context. Music has a reference, the private is political, music is political.

In four "chapters", a text performance is the common thread running through the concert, embedded in minimalist improvisations and sound textures. Everyday situations of the main character "Rio" are described from a "working class" perspective in an abstract and poetic way. Themes such as binary/non-binary, social prejudices and financial survival are taken up philosophically.

Groovy, jazzy compositions with unconventional melodies and transcultural elements form a bridge from one chapter to the next. As a kind of climax, a duo improvisation with movement/dance and percussion picks up on impressions of the text content and summarizes them in a dancing way.

and summarizes them in a dance-like manner. Video impressions, which invite the audience cinematically into the concert, lead them from chapter to chapter and to the end of the concert, form a framework for the overall piece and also want to invite the audience on a visual meta-level to an excursion.

The 60-minute piece will celebrate its world premiere on 11.6.25 as Leonie Sobek's Bachelor's graduation concert at Neues Schauspiel.
