Orchestral works, music theatre works and film scores. Iris ter Schiphorst’s compositions are often reactions to socio-political themes; she herself describes her composing as “dialogical”. (wien modern)
“Ingeborg Bachmann’s 1961 story ‘Undine geht’ was considered at the time to be an ‘objection’ to the traditional Undine narratives. For the first time, Undine had a voice, her view of love, of the ‘order between people’ was placed at the centre….
Fifty years have passed since then. Accordingly, my Undine, like my ‘Hans’, is getting on in years. But still ‘the world is dark’ and ‘no clearing in sight’.”
Undine goes!
A kind of monodrama based on the eponymous text by Ingeborg Bachmann for an actress, a singing cellist, a singer, mixed ensemble and feeds.
