NEW FORMS OF ART SONG PERFORMANCE

The collective INTER I STICES remarkably implemented the theme of Goethe's second journey to Switzerland in their project. By creating a physical journey where the audience walks through the old town of Brig together with the ensemble, the idea of being on ones way and the transformation of relationships becomes tangible. Goethe's notions of the Valais are confronted with modern perspectives through the presentation and juxtaposition of songs, recited, and sung texts. This innovative approach, combined with classical song repertoire, sound experiments, and improvisation, transcends the traditional barriers of the concert format and creates an inviting atmosphere. The jury acknowledges the experimental spirit of the concept as well as its accessible and participatory character, which provides a fresh perspective on the art of song and actively engages the audience. This approach contributes to bringing art and culture into the community and bringing people together, aligning with the original meaning of "Polis" (city) as a sociocultural conglomerate.
