Jan Jedenak - Theater figuraler Formen [Leipzig], Winnie Luzie Burz [Freiburg] EKHEO feat. Roger Brown [Berlin]
In one evening, we will be showing two of the best short plays in German puppet theater of recent years, plus a performative concert. Jan Jedenak and Winnie Luzie Burz, who have both performed several of their pieces in the Westflügel, will be joining forces with the duo Ekheo for a mini-festival. Three different worlds can be experienced with just one ticket. We explore the invisible and seek the sublime. Immerse yourself in the worlds in between!

Sequences for the interpretation of the invisible
/SÉANCE/ conjures up the invisible in small motivic sequences inspired by Guy de Maupassant's fictional diary "Le Horla". In the light of a spotlight, moments from a bygone era freeze into sinister tape recordings that seem to spring from a psyche that has fallen into madness. A play with the fleeting nature of light and the uncertainty of our perception. An attempt to capture the uncanny presence of the absent between light and shadow.
The production won the 2015 Fritz Worttelmann Prize from Fidena and the City of Bochum in the professional young talent category.

EPIPHANIE | Winnie Luzie Burz [Freiburg]
A liturgical high-tech experiment or how do you achieve sublimity in 13 minutes?
Epiphany is about the need to achieve a moment of sublimity - as quickly as possible. By choosing the liturgical antiphon "Regina Coeli" and the resulting sacred chant, Epiphanie makes use of religious means that have always been used to bring about sublime moments. The objects used are taken from everyday life. Together with live-produced electronic soundscapes, Epiphanie always moves between the poles of sacred grace, everyday banality and technological progress.
Play & idea: Winnie Luzie Burz

Duration: Approx. 21 minutes
EKHEO feat. Roger Brown
Ekheo is a duo consisting of Aude Langlois (FR) and Belinda Sykora (AT) that explores the interfaces between the musical, visual and acoustic art of performance. The sound art duo will be accompanied by Rodger Brown (JM/US), who will design the scenic and visual aspects. Equipped with synthesizers, microphones, instruments, loop machines and reactive live projections, Ekheo & Rodger Brown create a transcendent, dreamlike atmosphere that takes the audience on a psychedelic journey and expands the perception of sound and vision. Each performance is unique and characterized by improvisation, interaction with the immediate environment and the dynamic exchange between the three artists.
