On September 16th Pan Daijing, Valerio Tricoli and Werner Dafeldecker will premiere their first collaborative project “The Speaker” at Elisabethkirche.

Eventually a transformation of metamorphosis of one into the other is achieved in a relationship of meanings forever in escape.
Opening the night is Argentinian acousmatic composer Beatriz Ferreyra. The singular artist with a passion for unusual sounds and esoteric approaches to attaining knowledge is given carte blanche for the evening to play a selection of her works.
