How Work Works

Radu Malfatti

16.11.2017 at 17:00 @ Sound Studio, Croatian National Theatre, Zagreb

How Work Works is a series of events in the framework of the joint project Nothing Inert in the World of BADco. and the Croatian National Theatre that presents the work of artists close to us.

Austrian composer Radu Malfatti is a master of contrast of sound and silence, or better said, sound and absence of sound. His composition claude lorrain 1 (2008) is part of the soundscape of the new BADco. production Correcting Rhythm, performed live by trombonist Ivan Bošnjak, a member of the Croatian National Theater’s orchestra. The abstract and non-linear repetitive composition of vibration and stillness emphasizes our perception of the performer, introduces the logic of musical arrangement into the spoken text of the production, allows us to listen to the performance in a distinct beat.
