Maria Colusi - Dance
Thomas Rohrer - Rabeca, electronics
Michael Vorfeld - percussion and string instrument
Ute Wassermann - voice, bird calls
Maria Colusi is an Argentinian dancer, choreographer and teacher based in Berlin. She was member of the Contemporary Ballet Teatro General San Martin,Tangokinesis Company and since 2003 of Sasha Waltz & Guests Company. She has simultaneously developed her own choreographic work in collaboration with composers, visual artists and musicians to transport the audience into a landscape of dance, music and stage design.
Thomas Rohrer plays the rabeca, a Brazilian violin. In addition to learning the traditional way of playing, he radically expands the tonal possibilities of this instrument. He works on the entire resonating body, including the strings, using found metal objects, tuning forks, mallets and bows as well as various small motors. The sounds are amplified with various pickups and loudspeakers and alienated with mini-electronics.
Michael Vorfeld plays an idiosyncratic instrument set-up consisting of various percussion instruments, sound objects and a self-designed string instrument. Unusual playing techniques with instrumental preparations complete the soundscape and create a multi-layered aural world.
Ute Wassermann's voice is an extreme sound instrument. Throat bass drones, trilling yodels and percussive speech loops are just a few examples of her sound repertoire. She also masks her voice with various bird whistles and resonance objects. She uses the microphone like a sound magnifying glass to make complex worlds of noise audible in the quietest vocal sounds.
