Reiche Reiche Arme Arme Eine Suche an den Rändern

In the first part of the evening, three performers explore the theme of ‘wealth’ through movement patterns that were and are practised as social dances. The statements of rich people are superimposed on the choreography. In between, we follow the wealth researcher Rudolf Martin in video sequences through Hamburg. The second part explores the lives of poor people in ever new ways and shows how poverty is systemically characterised and persists.

ARME ARME REICHE REICHE combines different theatrical means and forms to explore the subtle differences and to powerfully counter the threatening hopelessness and powerlessness: another world is possible.

Avigdor Classics Festival Bern – Kammermusikfestival 2019

Avigdor Classics presents its fourth and final festival concert in the melodious concert hall of the Bern Conservatory with works that reflect the motto “Souvenir musical” in perhaps its most original form: childhood memories. These are works that remind us of our youth and tell children’s stories. As a grand finale, festival musicians and young musicians from the Sinfonietta Konservatorium Bern will perform tangos together, creating a colorful firework display. The performers are Olga Zado (piano), Saskia Otto (violin), Romana Kaiser (cello), Rosie Richardson (piano), Javier López Sanz (violin), Christa Jardine (viola), René Camacaro (cello), Edouard Mätzener (violin), Luciano Jungman (bandoneon), festival musicians and La Sinfonietta of the Musikschule Konservatorium Bern.
