Presenting “A Room of One´s Own”
In a couple of weeks time we will go into work mode in Københavns Musikteaters facilitates to create this brand new performance! This is gonna be the result of a cooperation between Københavns Musikteater, Dansk Komponistforening and Damkapellet and will for the first time be performed at the 14th of April.
We are looking so much forward, stay in tune!
A Room of One´s Own is a musical performance that portrait six female composers personal creative space and the inner life of her time. A space that is essential for any artist, but often not given or permitted to women. With music as the medium and female classical composers as examples, we take the audience on a journey from medieval times until today, recreating a room of their own in the contemporary world.
Coming from a selectively emphasised history, we wish to shed light on a more diverse view and increase our knowledge of female in arts. By creating windows into small rooms of each of the composers lives, we wish to give the audience an insight in their time, their quest and their passions. Using different elements of sound, we build an atmosphere which reflect on three aspects of existence – the physical body, mind and spirit.
We invite our audience into an experience of an inner life, to be a part of a room, to make our own history.
In the performance you will hear music by Hildegaard von Bingen, Isabella Leonarda, Elfrida Andrée, Kaija Saariaho, Maria Martine Jagd and Julija Morgan.
