SATIEfikationen

In the organizer's words:

One of the legendary figures of the Parisian Montmatre scene around 1900 with its modern approaches to art, its cabarets and its frivolous underworld makes an appearance. Monsigneur Satie, a contemporary of Toulouse Lautrec, Picasso and Jean Cocteau, is himself a dazzling figure, a cheeky border crosser between music, literature and religion.

"SATIESfaktionen" is a musical and literary homage to Erik Satie to mark the 100th anniversary of his death. An occasion for the Bremen brass band Lauter Blech to dedicate an entire evening to one of their favorite composers, and not just with music.

The 14-piece brass band takes on Satie's compositions in a kaleidoscopic and stage-effective manner - always with a penchant for musical stumbling blocks. Satie's congenial film music is played live to excerpts from René Clair's surrealist short film Entr'acte (1924).

In a production by Frank Bobran, Michael Meyer, Meike Lehmann and Matthias Guggenberger present Satie's life and work as a fragmentary "life score" embedded in his humorous texts. The three performers associatively embody different facets of Satie:

They "oscillate", as one of Satie's self-descriptions puts it.
