4x4 (part 1) in Brussels

Just arriving from Brussels after a refreshing week of creative contamination, together with Petter Goldstine, Christina Clar, Silvia Platzer, Frederic de Wilde, Mariane Cosserat, Norberto Llopis, Hege Palsrud, Laure Bonicel, Wendy Morris and Ludo Engels. Hopefully (if they get a subvention) there will be a part 2 of 4x4 in Brussels, in October, with 3 days of public performances and instalations. For the moment we were there just to meet and work together at Les Bains.
Here are my polaroids of the gang:

Nazaré - nicht die Stadt, die Frau

(Nazaré - not the vilagge, the woman)

I'm now working on this spoken word piece for radio, together with German singer Katharina Franck. She wrote this amazing biography of Nazaré, who was the maid at Katharina's family while they lived in Portugal during the 70's. The historical background of the story is mainly the portuguese revolution period, and the biography of Nazaré is in part fiction, in part real.

This piece was comissioned by Bayerische Rundfunk radio station and it will be premiered on Bayern 2 Radio on the 4th of May, at 20h30m. A few days before, we will play this piece live in a duo concert at Studiobühne der Akademie der Künste, Berlin, on the 21th of April, at 20h.
