Diamanda La Berge Dramm

In the organizer's words:

"Triptych Triple Trio"

Classical solo works for violin, original compositions, fashion and dance

Violinist, dancers and fashion collective create a musically and visually exuberant performance of a completely new kind for the duration of an afternoon: a triptych of the arts.

Based on her training as a classical violinist, Dramm is constantly searching for new facets of her instrument. In a unique way, she uses voice and violin in an interplay without drawing a line between new music and pop. By freeing the violin from its historical baggage, it becomes flexible again and becomes a toy, a mirror, a mask, a vocal chord, a third lung. In this way, Dramm not only reinvents her tool - the violin - but also the concert ritual. Together with the fashion collective Maison the Faux, she is breaking new ground here.

The artists of Maison the Faux also strive to transcend the fashion world without denying their deep love of fashion itself. With opulent, even bizarre costumes and stage sets, they explore the archetypal main characters of the great myths. They reinterpret these captivating figures, creating visual worlds in which viewers can completely lose their bearings and still feel at home.

The third moment in this Gesamtkunstwerk is when violinist La Berge Dramm meets dancer Arno Verbruggen. The performance creates new relationships between the bodies of the performers and the body of the violin. What is instrument, what is human, what is function and what is accessory becomes blurred.
