The remnants of a silk scarf become notation, voices are superimposed on themselves through recording processes, laughter and crying are transformed into musical figures. Graphic notation is translated into sound, sound into theatrical gestures, electro-acoustic settings form reference systems for the physical voices in the room. Projections make these processes transparent to the audience. Transfigurations take place in a variety of musical situations in the new programme of the series maulwerker performing music.

Four world premieres, written especially for the maulwerkers and developed with them, and a German premiere are in store for this evening. The realisation of an Alison Knowles notation will be presented in a revised version for the first time in Berlin. Following pieces for the choir in San Marco and Trondheim Voices, Christina Kubisch will now work with the Maulwerker vocal ensemble. The young Ukrainian composer Adrian Mocanu will reflect on the concept of metamorphosis in Greek mythology. Miika Hyytiäinen will transfigure extreme emotional sounds through a graphic score and thus set a dramatic accent. Sagardía's composition deals with the death of a close friend and colleague, a revitalisation of the soul through mourning.

The evening draws an arc from the past avant-garde of the 20th century, the »Transfiguration of the Commonplace« (Danto), to the present day as a suite of divestment, as a mental process that gradually leads the listeners labyrinthine to themselves in the polyphonic texture of the voices.
