17 Chilling Mammoths

In the organizer's words:

Maya Dunietz is a phenomenon. The Israeli composer, musician and artist is constantly inventing new musical worlds. Sometimes she performs at major festivals with her jazz trio, sometimes she rescues compositions by the 100-year-old Ethiopian nun Emahoy Tsegue Maryam Guebrou from oblivion. The common bond: working on sound, on the oceanic sound experience.
For the "Mannheim Summer", she has assembled a herd of 17 decrepit pianos from the past, which puff, growl and roar like primeval mammoths in her sound installation. Using a sophisticated electronic control system, these relics of a more bourgeois era become sound sculptures between which one can reflect on the passing of time, the roar of the world, isolation and community. In the fall, this touching and at the same time formal installation will even be shown at the Lucerne Art Museum as part of a major exhibition. A magical world in the exhibition hall of the northern Zirkelbau.
