Dansk beskrivelse
A Unique Concert Series Developed by Hess is More
‘Apollonian Circles’ is a multi-disciplinary musical concert and art installation experience that combines elements of electronic music, jazz, theater, and performance art. Each performance hinges on audience participation and improvisation guiding an ever-changing narrative of artistic expression – we are all participants reflecting one another’s experience as if in a hall of mirrors.
This project explores the very definition of what audiences have come to expect from a traditional concert. From the moment they arrive, attendees are transported to a mysterious dream-like space where the unexpected can happen. ‘Apollonian Circles’ premiered at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in the capital of Denmark during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July 2019 and reprised with a “winter version” at Huset KBH in February 2020 – both were great successes with sold-out shows and ecstatic media attention.
In the literal center of the room is a large table (decorated with other-worldly artifacts and ornaments) that is both stage and set piece for the performers and audience to gather. This is a holistic approach to putting on a concert, as conceptualized by Hess Is More and Kaja MANAGEMENT. Joining everyone around the table – an enduring cultural symbol of unity and celebration – breaks down the barrier between art and spectator and all performative aspects of the evening are shared.
Synopsis Tue Biering, theater director
Apollonian Circles is a constantly evolving musical live work. With changing groups of artists, concert formats and the relationship between music, musicians and the audience are explored and challenged. For me, it is a study of music that becomes physical. For me, it’s about stepping into a musical universe. Becoming close to the music. Close to the musicians. By inviting musicians, scenographers, designers, artists, directors together into different spaces, we believe in the very best opportunities to create some of the experiences we do not yet know that we would like to give a future audience.
