Work commentary, Charlotte Bösling & Ole Hübner, 2017:
“Philomel with Melody” / a nocturnal remix / une production très tragique
the roles: the animal / the restless / the accompanying / the connecting / the connected / the foolish / the opposite / the innocent / the divided / the losing / the lost
a choir, silent
a protagonist
a narrator, along the dully stinking canal, night-drunk and moonsickled, feasting on the sight of the green sloshing liquid
white noise
one night
“Come, now a roundel an a fairy song!” (Shakespeare)
Designs
Palestrina
mask on / through the tunnel / striding stumbling / gawking / water
torn loose we float to the left & to the right along the color spectrum
a black night
drums / voices / Mendelssohn / radio
is repeating / clap
is repeating / clap
is repeating / clap
is repeating / clap
the media image compressed into a neutral-looking object that has become haptic and ingestible
and now listen to the rustling black night
