A fingertip glides slowly over the notches of the almost smooth program sheet. A drop of sweat runs hastily down from the over-ear and moistens the neck. A final accelerando and rallentando of a fingernail on the scalp causes a vibration of a few hertz. The vibration sets the intention in motion. Everything is ready. Let's get started. "Salon of Touch" is a collective experience between performers and the audience with musical works that move along the threshold of touch and sound. Dauchez / Zimmermann / Krzewiński invite the audience for an immersive sound and touch treatment. It is recommended to come with comfortable clothes. Participation is not obligatory, the event can also be attended as a concert. The "Salon of Touch" includes the following works: A Face Like Yours - Aviva Endean Contre No. 1 - Kuba Krzewiński Offertorium: Behandling B - Jeppe Ernst blacksnowfalls - Wojtek Blecharz Listen with your skin - Kuba Krzewiński (WP) Note: It is recommended to come with comfortable clothes. The performance can also be experienced as a relaxed concert.
