Sounds Absurd is an out of the ordinary stage event that
embraces the physical aspects of music. Ensemble Offspring will be joined by actor
Katia Molino and director Carlos Gomes of Theatre Kantanka to showcase the group
of outrageous musicians.
Cellists Geoffrey Gartner and John Addison will
face off in a sonic contest adjudicated by percussionist Claire Edwardes in Match,
a work composed by avant-garde trouble-maker Mauricio Kagel.
Radical Vinko
Globokar will use the half naked body as an instrument in ?Corporel. Whilst Kagel's
Australian ex-student, Moya Henderson, will feature string instruments in nooses.
Thierry
de Mey's Musique de Tables explores the sound of six carefully choreographed hands
as they dance on a tabletop. Then Jason Noble and Katia Molino will combine sounds
and physical gestures in one of Matthew Shlomowitz's letter pieces described as
"arty farty charades" or "duet-tourettes".
Ending on
an amusing, if not slightly disturbing note, Jude Weirmeir will leave us struggling
to look at cellist Geoffrey Gartner in the same way again….
From the
team that brought you the Sizzle events, recently wowing inner city Bowlos, it
is music like you've never seen or heard before…painful body slapping to
upside-down cellos in drag. Sound absurd? You bet! Check out Sounds Absurd as
they take the theatrics of music to the extreme in a crazy program sure to entertain.
