«Ethereal Realms – all fiction is metaphor» ist ein Solo der elektronischen Musikerin Marie Delprat im Rahmen einer performativen Installation, inspiriert von Ursula K. Le Guins feministischem Science-Fiction-Roman «Die linke Hand der Finsterniss» aus dem Jahr 1969. Inmitten einer kontrastreichen Klanglandschaft, zwischen Barock und Elektronik, reflektieren wir über die Komplexität von Identität und Verbindung.
Le Guin behauptet, dass alle Fiktion metaphorisch ist. In unserer Fiktion sind die Linien des Geschlechts, des Werdens, der Zugehörigkeit und der Welterschaffung nicht einfach dieses, jenes oder keines von beiden; sie sind alle etwas, das sich die Menschheit noch nicht vorgestellt hat.
Prior to this, the Colombian-Swiss musician Marianna Angel will play a solo-set at the Bar du Nord. Marianna Angel (*1992) is a classically trained pianist who specialises mainly in 20th and 21st century music. She is also a composer and improviser. Her music covers a broad spectrum, ranging from classical and impressionistic to experimental and pop genres.
