DER SCHNEEPANTHER

Description

Accompanied by the renowned nature photographer Vincent Munier, the French travel writer Sylvain Tesson ventures into the Tibetan highlands, where nature remains untouched and exhibits a unique beauty. They embark on a quest for one of the rarest animals on earth: THE SNOW LEOPARD. Far from any civilization, Tesson questions a world where there is little room left for the untamed, the wild, and the unfolding beauty of nature. The result is a powerful work against the hustle of our everyday life and the destruction of the world. This meditative journey by Sylvain Tesson serves as the textual basis. The reading is from the German translation "Der Schneeleopard" by Nicola Denis. In collaboration with the ensemble ¡exquisición!, the narrator creates a space where words and sound merge. The wind instruments shape the soundscape of this imaginary world. Musical interludes give space to the words and let the prose float. They express what cannot be put into words, what Vincent Munier captures in his photos: the diversity, richness, and power of natural beauties. ¡exquisición! is a Swiss ensemble at the intersection of jazz, folklore, and contemporary music. The combination of brass and percussion takes us back to the origins of music: the voice and rhythm. As archaic and familiar as their sounds may be, their possibilities regarding freedom of play and interaction are diverse. Based on a natural aesthetic, ¡exquisición! explores the relationship between traditional and secular music, between the material and the ethereal, between familiarity and openness. PRICES: Adults 30.–; AHV 20.–; Students 15.– Note: This text was translated by software for machine translation and not by a human translator. It may contain translation errors.
