Daniel Dominguez Teruel & Schwankcore: When We Were Singking

In the organizer's words:

Information about the play

Bremen as a sunken city - this scenario is no longer so unimaginable. Like many coastal cities around the world, Bremen has already been flooded several times in the past. Current case scenarios from climate research predict that entire parts of Bremen could disappear under water within the next 70 years. Or rather: Become. "When We Were Singing" takes this scenario as an opportunity to perform a kind of early mourning for the sinking city of Bremen.

"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."

This is how emotion and empathy researcher Karla McLaren describes grief. Daniel Dominguez Teruel has already anticipated and mourned the decay of the Elbphilharmonie in 2019 with a cooing choir of doves ("Requiem for Architecture"). Together with Schwankcore, he is now creating a kind of requiem for the sinking city of Bremen.

Free admission. The concert will take place in the foyer. Reservations are not required.

Information about the artists

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.

Mara Hebel is musically versatile and has already directed various choir and ensemble projects, from the classical university choir to her jazz vocal ensemble NEILON. Since November 2022, she has led the "Schwankcore", which meets weekly in the Schwankhalle.
