A U R E A – WENN TÖNE FARBEN HABEN

An interdisciplinary live performance with painting and music

‘A U R E A’ represents the power of synaesthetic experience, authentically expressed in this unique co-creation. Music is freely improvised in the moment and then transposed directly onto canvas in colour tones and abstract brushstrokes. Nora Thiele’s music plays with the boundaries between periods and genres: it mixes acoustic sounds with electronics and blurs art music with entertainment. ‘A U R E A’ liberates the traditional concert format with its informal atmosphere and a stage configured in a circular shape, around which the audience is allowed to move freely. This enables the public to participate in a creative process that is not otherwise visible to them. The viewers and listeners experience artistic transformation on equal terms and can immerse themselves in a mediatative state while watching and listening. Larissa Böhler and Nora Thiele began their artistic collaboration in neighbouring studios in Weimar in 2021. Larissa Böhler specialis- es in painting to music, while Nora Thiele is a multi-instrumentalist on a wide-ranging set of keyboards and percussion. Recording and playing loops allow her to layer several levels. Her music is an experimental mix of neoclassical, folk, minimalist and ambient music.
