Description
How does the communication between people, the individual and group work? Amir Shpilman’s »Circles« models itself on flocks of birds. The singers of several Bonn choirs are arranged in circles and let notes and gestures circulate like waves within them. Fazıl Say confronts the vocal collective as an individual on the piano – amongst others with political works by Janáček and himself.
