In the programme soundprojections : bios, projection artist Katrin Bethge meets avant-garde and improvisation musician Ninon Gloger with her delicate overhead projections. The Hamburg light poet, who has already enchanted the Elbphilharmonie and the Schwerin Cathedral with her space-transforming overhead projections, and the Lübeck pianist continue the dialogue they began in 2015. This time, the endangered plant world in its various expressions, from delicate ramification to full bloom, is the starting point of their joint audiovisual journey, which weaves improvisations around works by the minimalist Morton Feldman and the neo-romanticist George Crumb.
The focus is on Crumb's epic Makrokosmos I, accompanied by his late work Processional and Feldman's Intermission 5 and Palais de Mari. The dialogue between the art forms and the artists plays a crucial role: sounds, rhythms and motifs are spontaneously and directly translated into light and colour, and the audience can expect to be immersed in the world of our silent contemporary witnesses.
Katrin Bethge is a freelance illustrator and projection artist. After training as a theatre painter at the Hamburg State Opera and studying illustration at the HAW Hamburg, she began using light and projection to create virtual spaces in 1999. Her work can be seen in The Magic Flute at the Nationaltheater Mannheim and in Schwerin Castle (until Jan 2024).
Ninon Gloger studied at the Musikhochschule Lübeck and the Hogeschool vor Wetenschap & Kunst Leuven and has performed among other things as a soloist in the "Neues Werk" of the NDR Hamburg. She has performed in Germany and Europe with new music, chamber music and improvisation ensembles and works as a répétiteur at the Musikhochschule Lübeck.
