Lyrical and Delirious Word-Concert based on texts of Roland Herr
Kadash, the long-standing group of Co Streiff, have released their second production for UNIT: «Am Berg». It’s a work steeped in legend, and an experience that while demanding a lot of the listener gives much more in return. «Am Berg» is a lyrical and delirious word-concert based on the text of the same name by Roland Heer. It’s a theatrical/acoustic setting of the exploits of mountainclimber K. – his climbing and collapsing, his repeated falling and his slow disappearance. We are witness to the runaway merry-go-round of his last flickering thoughts; we hear the voice in his head together with every sound that has ever been heard. Collapse and death as helplessness and absurdity. We laugh but suddenly fall silent again, perplexed. The words of K’s final thought – kaleidoscope penetrate the sound-landscape that Kadash have created. The music can be a panorama behind the words but then falls away like an avalanche – it threatens and comforts; it obscures one moment and is like a flood the next; it speaks us and listens attentively; it spews joy as well as ash... it’s a requiem of laughter and chattering teeth. |
