Mesh

Stefan Prins, Mátyás Wettl, Michael Beil

Man, nature and technology intertwine in Stefan Prins’ work and fight for domination. Is that electromagnetic noise produced by a euphonium? Or do you hear cicadas in a rainforest in Borneo? In Mesh, everything is interconnected and in constant flux.

A piece for pianist, but without piano. Really, this is only possible in Michael Beil’s wonderful and also uncanny universe. In front of the camera, the pianist in Key Jack faces a breakneck task.

The concert closes with the highly virtuosic Nocturne for 16 light switches by Mátyás Wettl. We have to do without an explanation from the composer. ‘Surely a surgeon doesn’t tell us which knife he uses to remove an appendix?’
