Die Hochstapler with Félicie Bazelaire, Patricia Bosshard, Emilio Gordoa & Michael Thieke
The Flop, the Turn and the River
a chamber music strategy game in two acts
The French-Italian-German quartet "Die Hochstapler" ("The Impostors") presents a piece for an ensemble of eight internationally acclaimed improvisors. Themes, rules, codes and complex relationships build a pool from which all performers can freely choose in the course of the performance. Together they create a unique and fresh music that is as much preconceived as it is improvised. The audience is witness to a self-renewing concert event on the edge of performance art, overflowing with enthusiasm and synergy effects
