We welcome Hilà Lahav as our guest.
Hilà Lahav is a poet, musician and sound artist. She plays flutes, hollow bodies and electronics. She composed music and created soundscapes for cinema, theatre, dance and performance. Her most recent collaboration, A Song that Can’t Be Sung [Fonds Darstellende Künste/ Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen]- a piece for four voices and performers, to original text and score – in co-creation with Abigail Akavia, with Anna Clementi and Munsha (Daniella Lunelli) premiered last March at the Schaubühne Lindenfels in Leipzig. Since 2020, Lahav has been part of the collective of ausland Berlin, – territory for arts and collateral damage – a collectively operated event and production venue.
This is the last event of our polyphony series before the summer break. On September 17th we will start again!
Free admission, donations welcome!
Rainer Frey, known as Yref, and I have launched “Polyphonie im BAIZ” (“Polyphony at the BAIZ”), a series of extraordinary music performances that have now found a new home at BAIZ in Prenzlauer Berg.
Every third Tuesday of the month, we will perform at the venue. We may perform as a duo, as a trio with different guests, or solo. Our music explores a wide range of sonic possibilities, starting with the electric guitar and atmospheric electronica and venturing into uncharted soundscapes. We see ourselves as influenced by Berlin’s tradition of experimental and informal art and music.
“Polyphonie im BAIZ” pushes the boundaries of genres, creates new sonic spaces, and celebrates spontaneous musical interaction. These performances are open, allowing for freedom of expression and resulting in daring and unpredictable creations. The final outcome of each performance is always provisional, leaving room for the unexpected in future showcases.
