Instalakcje 6: from six to six
Is it enough to attend a concert, listen to the music for two hours and return to everyday life? Why do we spend hours at musical events but rarely go to the philharmonic? Is it ok to sleep or (even worse) dance at a classical music concert? Do we need elite, acoustically flawless temples or places where people collectively listen to the music as well as perform, leave, return and wake up in the middle of a performance?
Under the sixth edition of the Instalakcja festival, a 12-hour concert from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. will be held. It will begin with the sound of falling rice (Michael Pisaro, Ricefall 2 – social project for seniors) and end with adjustment to the harmony of a new day (Karlheinz Stockhausen Stimmung performed by the sextet proMODERN). Kasia Justka will combine music with cooking (and food). Then, Jennifer Torrence will offer some physical activity to Tom Johnson’s Nine Bells. Participants will have a chance to stretch their legs and get tired along with Wilhelm Bras’ music followed by the main element of this year’s edition – the legendary, hypnotising, 6-hour Morton Feldman’s String Quartet No. 2 (1983), which will be performed in Poland for the first time by the fearless NeoQuartet.

Hymn to love
For the first time in Warsaw.
HYMN TO LOVE for orchestra, stuffed-animal choir, and others is a show about Europe closing its ranks. Nation after nation is crying out: “Give us back our country!” And Poles are eagerly joining in the chorus. It is also a show about how every nation loves to forget. And how human time-bombs are so furious they’re blowing their fuses. Thus, history repeats itself. So, just for us, the chorus will sing The Song of the Forgetful Nation:
Hymn to love closes the European triptych focused on “Mother Courage”. The image of an orchestra performing in concentration camps and Holocaust become the starting point for Górnicka to refer to nationalist tendencies in Europe and the migration crisis.
The chorus constists of: actors and actresses from Teatr Polski in Poznań, actors and actresses from Chór Kobiet, amateurs from Poznań, children, adults with Down syndrome, seniors.
concept, director, libretto lyrics: Marta Górnicka
The Polish premiere took place on 21 January 2017 at Teatr Polski in Poznań.
Tickets: PLN 50/35
Entrance ticket: PLN 20
