Klavierstück

Open Spaces | Tanzfabrik Berlin / Wedding

Production Details / Press Releases

The starting point of the research was an audio recording that had been forgotten for decades which happened to be discovered in the estate of the Dadaist Richard Huelsenbeck. On the recording, the artist Rafael Montañez Ortiz can be heard destroying a piano with an axe. “Klavierstück” is a duet of a piano and a human body, where Felix M. Ott explores exhaustively the possibilities of this relationship and its boundaries. Between internal confrontation and fearful embrace, visual worlds and soundscapes are created that reveal the inner lives of both. A musical evening in a moving way.

Felix Mathias Ott born in South Germany, has been living and working in Berlin for 15 years. He initially studied stage design and later contemporary dance, context and choreography as part of the pilot programme of HZT Berlin. Ott works as a performer and has been touring his own productions across Europe and Asia since 2011.His personal creation and research is supported by the European network APAP – advancing performing arts project. Felix’ work tends to create reflexive, more than conceptual, spaces where the spectator is invited to discover the and his/her unconscious world.
