Breaking the Wall is a project by LUX:NM, in which the ensemble deals with breaking through walls in a variety of ways in a scenic concert project.
Walls are built and torn down. They serve as protection or exclusion, as a kind of sheltered dwelling or as a symbol and demonstration of power relations. Walls can be built both physically and psychologically. However, they always serve the same purpose: they divide into different sides or camps. Together with composers Ying Wang, Annesley Black, Lisa Streich, Oxana Omelchuk and Gordon Kampe, the ensemble LUX:NM addresses the question of how borders can be created or torn down. How can people and art break down walls?
A staged concert project by Ensemble LUX:NM in collaboration with the Festival Forum Neuer Musik im DLF Köln.
