PROGRAMs
"Alle Menschen werden Schwestern"
Understanding each other without words, listening closely, feeling together - with their program "Alle Menschen werden Schwestern" the duo Anouchka & Katharina Hack traces the bond. It is not only the extraordinary bond between siblings that becomes audible in compositions by the sisters Boulanger, Fanny Hensel and Felix Mendelssohn as well as in the intimate dialogue of joint, spontaneous improvisations by the sister duo. Imagination as a unifying force between all people is also in the focus of this musical search for traces of the question: What brings us together as human beings?

"Dancing Duo"
"Dancing Duo" performs musical pirouettes, sways to the beat of a waltz, stamps its feet. Dances from all over the world tell of Pulcinella, of old folk tunes and the Argentine soul. In the last part of the concert, the Duo Anouchka & Katharina Hack, together with a dancer, go in search of the magical component that connects dances from baroque to tango: what is in this music that awakens the desire to move in us?
