29.12.2021 16:00 – 17:30

Christoph Dahlhausen (Artist and Musician, Bonn/Melbourne) and Timo Berndt (Actor, Bonn) accompany the dismantling and end of the project PASSAGE with text and sound collages on anger, fears and confusion between Handke, Cage and Sibylle Berg.

Christoph Dahlhausen and Timo Berndt cooperate for the first time. At the end of the event year, the two artists bring together text, music and sounds in the Kaiserpassage and develop a dystopia of everyday life. In a highly exciting collage Berndt recites texts by Thomas Bernhard, Ossip Mandelstam, Samuel Beckett, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Sibylle Berg and others. In addition to free improvisations and his own compositions, Dahlhausen contributes music by Igor Stravinsky, John Cage, Laurent Rochel, Johann Strauss II, Max Reger and others.

The Bonn- and Melbourne-based artist Christoph Dahlhausen, who received the Bonn Art Prize in 2003, is known worldwide for his light installations and minimalist imagery. In 2014, he was a finalist of the First International Light Art Award among 30 artists worldwide. Less well known is his work as a sound performer in duo collaborations, which he has maintained since 2006 with both the Australian sound artist Michael Graeve and the Israeli dancer Ziv Frenkel.

Timo Berndt worked for 7 years as an actor at the Schauspiel Bonn and is also known to the Bonn audience for many literary programmes, including the August Macke Museum.
He designed a variety of readings for concerts in the chamber music hall of the Beethoven-Haus and was part of the music series “WortKlangRaum. ” Through his artistic interventions in public space, e. g. with his program “Reality Bites” in the former Bonn Loch, he sought to break through traditional audience structures.
