Is music good for your health? Can it actually change anything? in this curated evening, percussion group Pinquins examine how contemporary music can engage with issues of mental and physical health and wellbeing.
Lars Skoglund looks at the everyday life of performing musicians in Sixty-Forty. Stage fright, financial stress and aching muscles are just some of the things that can affect their health. In this farcical theatre piece, we follow an idealistic trio though various challenges.
My Heart Is a Map by German composer Manos Tsangaris deals with the question of the human point of view. We are taught to look objectively, but in real life we experience how people generate very different perceptions of what seem to be the same things. Is that healthy or dangerous?
Jessie Marino calls Cheek By Jowl ‘a dramatised musical healing facility’. Drawing on seventeenth century medical practices and healing rituals, as well as cymatic scanners and sonic diagnostics, the piece conjures a strange, fictional healing practice and a contained space for self-care.
