The listener is located within a dimmed, spiral- like space (Claudia Doderer) that signifies the cochlea, the most sensitive part of the human inner ear. A synchronized sound-\/light-composition (light design: Andreas Fuchs) turns the performing space into an audiovisual realm in between inner and outer world. The extremely soft and resonating sounds of the four percussionists are at times overlaid by rhythmic pulses that \u2013 according to Klaus Lang, the composer \u2013 might be described as ripples on a lake caused by a slight breeze or as pebbles dropping irregularly on a flat surface.\u2028The Japanese aesthetic principle of \u201acondensed beauty\u2019 also was significant during the creative process. The yearly cherry blossom is regarded as a foremost example of this principle and it is appreciated not least because of its transitoriness. Klaus Lang chooses an exquisite orchestration to recreate this principle: bowed crotales, glasses, turkish cymbals and struck bongos, timpani and big drums are employed to unfold a magic compression and extension of time that leads to a unique aesthetic experience.<\/p>\n Excerpt from the program Hebbel-Theater Berlin 2002[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [rev_slider_vc alias=”kirschbluetenohr”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
