herstory I _ unplugged (Eva Baumann & Biliana Voutchkova)

This performance exclusively features works by extraordinary female composers. It approaches the arrangements for solo violin with the joy of discovery, and transports the audience into uncharted sonic realms. Their musical journey leads from the medieval world of Hildegard von Bingen to characteristic Baroque sonorities and on to contemporary compositions by Joanna Bruzdowicz and Ruth Schonthal.

Her research as a creative improviser spans the widest possible range of sound/music/movement and extends the sonic and technical capacities of her instrument, evolving into the development of a highly individual musical language.

Venue Info:

» Bootschafft

Bootschafft is a new theater in Pankow, located in the conference hall of the former Australian Embassy in East Berlin. Located at Grabbeallee 34 in Berlin Pankow-Niederschönenhausen, the building, along with the garden and tennis court, were completed in 1975. It was the location of the Australian Embassy in East Berlin until 1986. There were plans to tear down the former Australian Embassy in 2015, but the demolition was prevented when the district office of Pankow placed the building under landmark protection. This brought about a restructuring, during which the owner has allowed the interim use of the building as a location for artist studios. Atelierhaus Australische Botschaft (OST) was founded in April 2017 and comprises a group of more than 30 artists working in the fields of visual art, theater, performance, literature, music, photography and dance.
