Festival LABOR SONOR : TRANSLATING SPACES | 27 – 29 August 2021
How does a space influence our thoughts, actions and experiences? What do places and spaces offer, what do they allow, what do they demand, what do they prevent? How are spaces shaped and altered by what happens in them and with them? The festival LABOR SONOR : TRANSLATING SPACES explores the power of space in contemporary experimental music and sound art.
The motto of the festival is: Listen twice! The audience will have the opportunity to experience the same work simultaneously or consecutively in changing situations and spaces. Over three days, nine works by composers and installation artists will be presented at different venues. A symposium accompanies and explores the genesis of the works premiered at the festival – enabling artists, scholars and audience to enter into direct dialogue.
