These extended bodies transforme the performers\u2019 shape, weight, and presence, for a potential rebirth. What emerges is a Totem Dance, a dance of death to transcend the living, with expressionist processions inspired by Mary Wigman \u201cTotenT\u00e4nz\u201d (1917).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Stimmung:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Composed in 1968, Stockhausen\u2019s <em>Stimmung <\/em>was the first major Western work built entirely on overtone singing \u2014 a collective act of tuning body, voice, and spirit. In German, <em>Stimmung <\/em>means not only \u201ctuning\u201d or \u201cmood,\u201d but a deeper alignment of inner and outer states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2015, artist Celia Stroom has reimagined <em>Stimmung <\/em>across cathedrals, forests, and ruins. In this Athenian iteration, each performer co-creates the ritual live, guided by the work\u2019s 51 \u201cmoments\u201d: overtone melodies that evolve through layered repetition, until the group reaches sonic identity. A gesture passes leadership to the next, and the score continues \u2014 organic, alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf Two performances every night: the first at 20:30 and the second at 22:00. After the performance, the doors are closed and no admission is allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf The performance is open to a limited audience (up to 35 people) and reservations are required: more.com &amp; 213 00 40 496<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Totemtanz is a contemporary reinterpretation of Stimmung (Karlheinz Stockhausen, 1968), conceived and directed by Celia Stroom, with five non-gendered bodies moving among us in a fabric installation space.
