Zu Tage – our series about microtonality

– Episodes with calm

Calm can sound diverse; it is often what we seek, and when it is present, it quickly changes – simply due to our habit with it. So, what are we actually seeking then?

Episodes with calm – Microtonal Music and Intense Movements

Through sound, movement, and visual elements, a space is created where emotions such as peace, fear, calm, and loneliness become tangible. We play with time and space, telling a story about stillness and restlessness, freedom and security.

Stillness has many sounds. It is not always the same and changes with our perception. What are we truly seeking when we strive for calm? In a noisy world, stillness often becomes a special experience. We explore it as order and balance – is silence always calm, or what sound or action fits the word?

Most effective we find to play this music theatre in church – rooms. Different perspective for us and the audience!
