IMPULSE in the Imperial Court Chapel

Balance at twelve

Premiere text by Anna Kim

Recitation: Nadja Kayali

Musical interpretation: Company of Music

 

"Balance is achieved when two scales swing on the same level: when music and literature make the soul fly and stimulate reflection, when the familiar from the trove of the musical treasury becomes audible (again) and the new finds a place, and when art brings its feminine weight to the scales in a clearly visible way." 
(Nadja Kayali)

 

Treat yourself to a lunch break and let yourself be whisked away to the special atmosphere of Vienna's Imperial Court Chapel for half an hour of music and lyrics.

The daily changing music programme creates a special atmosphere for new literary works written by five renowned female writers especially for "IMPULSE in der Hofburgkapelle" and IMAGO DEI. As part of the premiere series, Barbara Frischmuth, Sabine Gruber, Maja Haderlap, Anna Kim and Ana Marwan reflect on the motto "Balance" in their new texts in various forms and diverse associations.
