A JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF SOUNDS
In this interactive show, the audience are invited to board an imaginary animated train, which can travel on and under water, in air, in space, and even in time. Elias with his magical trombone and Lina, the animated girl on the screen, will guide you through different stations, like the seashore, the woods, a big city like New York, a snowy night or even a musical époque, like the Baroque. The musical landscape is created in a collaboration between the performer Elias Faingersh and the audience who contribute with some of the noises or sounds - waves, wind, animal noises. The young spectators are challenged to also fantasize about more abstract sounds –the sound of falling snow, the sound of darkness, the sounds that exist in space.
Presented by: Teater KEF
Elias Faingersh is a graduate of Manhattan School of Music. His unique style of composition and performance (genre cross-over, dramatization of music, masterful employment of live electronics) distinguish him from any other artist. Named “Europe’s golden trombone” by critics, Elias Faingersh had performed in front of European royalty and European prime ministers. In 2005 he was named Sweden's best musician of the year. Elias' work of using music as a powerful theatrical element had resulted in a number of pioneering, groundbreaking works: "The Ugly Duckling", performed at the Royal Danish Opera for H.C. Andersson's 200th anniversary; ”Hamlet-Drama for Trombone and Orchestra” premiered with the Malmo Symphony Orchestra and became an international hit.
