Gostners SuppKultur - #27
Kids, how time flies, the SuppKultur is already doing its thing for the 25th time in the loft. A jubilee occasion for something big: An in-house SuppKultur production is celebrating its premiere. I Need Your Breath is the collaboration that emerged from the Corona crisis with the well-known musician Kostia Rapoport from Nuremberg (formerly the musical director at the State Theatre) and the soprano Lisa Ströckens from Berlin (among others, Duo LouLou). A woman roams through the room where she feels trapped, asking questions of herself and the world, trying to take stock of this existence that has relinquished all desire. A performance like a meditation into the heart of isolation, which always refers to motifs from Georges Perec's The Man Who Sleeps (1967), a book whose protagonist practices absolute life refusal and is already a collage in literary form. In a similar way, the SuppKultur ensemble works with the source material and enriches it, especially with music from Hildegard Knef to The Smiths. The result is a performance that we call a literary concert or occasionally a concert reading. Text: Andreas Thamm, Music: Lisa Ströckens, Stephan Goldbach, Kostia Rapoport. And around it, we will come up with a few more fun ideas.
SuppKultur (Stephan Goldbach, musician, and Andreas Thamm, author) brings text, music, and soup to the loft. Monthly, Thamm, Goldbach, and their guests negotiate the silliest and the major themes of our time, always conceptually thought out, almost even with ambition and always surprising, never the same.
