"Grief asks us to become still and stop any forward movement so that we can dive into the depths. But the intellect does not know how to go deep, not in the way that emotions can. The intellect usually tries to lift us out of the water and dry us out before we are really immersed in grief."
Free admission. The concert will take place in the foyer. Reservations are not required.
Daniel Dominguez Teruel lives and works as a composer and music theater director in Hamburg. In recent years, he has been working increasingly with a focus on the human voice. This has resulted in pieces that he summarizes in the series "How to Listen to Monuments and What to Listen to when Everything is Melting". In it, he deals with questions of (national) belonging, division and community. With the work "LOVESONG", in which the German national anthem is deconstructed on a musical level, he was invited to the Impulse Theater Festival in 2022, among others. Further performances and installations at Kampnagel, Elbphilharmonie, HAU, Schwankhalle, EMW Shanghai, among others.
