for large ensemble and animation


commissioned by NADAR Ensemble


WITH THE SUPPORT OF ERNST VON SIEMENS MUSIC FOUNDATION

about:


the city is an alive organism that has swallowed people’s loss of hope in the form of a wound. mothers are still mourning the loss of their daughters. hold me- and take me inside so i can grieve the way i want to two sister-creatures take refuge in one another’s bodies. they connect through an invisible umbilical chord. it feels safe there?
