Art tells stories: On March 17 and 18, three musicians and two dancers will jointly tell stories from Hugo Wolf’s Italienisches Liederbuch (English: Italian songbook). Katharina Padrok (mezzo-soprano), Sebastian Myrus (baritone) and Boris Schönleber (piano) perform the piece musically. Two dancers from the Hanoi Dance Academy interpret the songs with their bodies – in short choreographies by their docent Cao Duc Toan.
 
The Italienisches Liederbuch is an audio interpretation of 46 traditional Italian love poems. The character of the songs ranges from love to mockery and from conflict to reconciliation. With the extracts of this songbook, we are hence diving deeply into the emotional abyss of mankind.
 
The concert takes place within the framework of the concert series Listen differently with which we aspire to present surprising and unusual sound experiences to our listeners. The event has been realized in collaboration with Vietnam Dance College.
