Musical theatre performance
A community of loners. Learning from one another how to be without others. Living together by leaving each other alone. Could this work?
A constellation of soloists illuminates a utopia where such an attempt, surprisingly, succeeds. They tell of its inner contradictions, its anarchic freedom, its struggle with social pressure from without. They tell of this without speaking, and they sing without using their voice.
"One-one-solo" is a luminous sound essay with Musical Saws. It is influenced by, among others, Ursula K. Le Guin's story "Solitude", John Cage's lecture "Communication" and aleatoric music.
Uses written language in English or German. (German title: "Eins-eins-solo".)
