When we dream, we enter into a symbiotic relationship with our subconscious. It controls, processes and inspires the images that arise in our head, whereby nothing is linear and everything can exist simultaneously. In the Perception: Dreaming concert, the spoken word and the music also exist simultaneously and side by side, intertwining with each other. The audience is immersed in a dream that is shaped by a short story by the author Annegret Liepold and a variety of chamber music works (including works by Arvo Pärt and Kaija Saariaho) as well as improvisational elements. What is dream, what is real? It's Perception
