Sehnsucht – Katharina Gross
Katharina Gross cello / text / music / performance, Wouter Snoei sound direction
The Austrian cellist and performer Katharina Gross is for many composers the muse for writing new music. Now she makes a new performance with her own music, played, spoken, sung and on soundtracks: Sehnsucht.
Sehnsucht, a feeling that can lead to depression but can also act as a motor for creativity. A performance in five scenes that shows women, beings and emotional states, embodied by Katharina Gross and her cello and inspired by mythological stories, the depth psychology and literary works of Plato, Ovid, Ingeborg Bachmann and Terézia Mora.
