Church In Session XIII: The Theatre Of Details and FEEDBACKORCHESTER

The “Theatre of Details“

Claire Chaulet and Saba Tsereteli founded the company Theatre of Details in 2012 as one of the first project of the association Artistania e.V. Since then the Theatre of Details works together with artists from different disciplines and tries to dissolve borders between fine arts and performing arts. The ambition of the Theatre of Details is to create unconventional and participatory artistic practices, to invite the audience to go on a surreal and imaginative journey and to reclaim poetry and community experiences in the public space.

First known for its use of puppets, masks, and object theater, the artistic methods of the Theatre of Details became more and more eclectic and multifaceted. Nowadays the Theatre of Details use a wide range of techniques including lantern-making, story-telling, land art, stop motion…

Nevertheless, the same philosophy remains: The different artworks of Theatre of Details aim to transform hostile environments into inspiring and social spaces. Giant Marionnettes, Sculptures in Context, Creative Workshops, collective creations… all these approaches follow the same logic: to use art as an international language to create bounds between people and engage in civil society.

FEEDBACKORCHESTER

The Feedback Orchestra, founded in 1999, is a guitar orchestra from Berlin consisting of 8 electric guitarists who play exclusively feedback on their instruments.

Rather than fixed compositions, each performance is a response to the particular location and atmosphere and is improvised correspondingly – essentially another feedback: that between location and group.

What the band has in mind is a cleansing effect on the site and, according to listeners, the music really does notably impact the atmosphere of venues.

The music of the FBO is at once still and meditative, whilst also evincing a very powerful physical presence akin to natural forces. It is a slow rolling stream of vibrations, frictions and walls of sound, in which tones and harmonies dance constantly around one other, attracting and rejecting in a magnetic alliance.

As well as its quiet moments the music can also reach a powerful volume which, owing to its soft flowing character, is still generally perceived as soothing and healing.
