ABSURDITÄT
Automn 2025
Absurd – a word that perfectly describes our times. Between global crises and tensions within artistic circles, this project explores the mechanisms of the incomprehensible. Instead of political slogans, we use playfulness and humour, combining music and performance in a quirky and enigmatic universe.
​
Absurdity is not only a reflection of the world here, it is also a tool: with a wry smile, it offers us a space for reflection. The programme features two creations by Felix Nussbaumer and Gemma Ragués Pujol, accompanied by works by Peter Conradin Zumthor and Georges Aperghis, Charlotte Torres and Carola Bauckholt.

Duo Klexs
Absurdity: (from Latin absurditas in the same meaning, including ‘tastelessness’, ‘silliness’ or ‘inconsistency’, ....) refers to something absurd or nonsensical. This can be an unusual, abstruse, logical or strange occurrence or phenomenon to which the mind of the individual, contrary to its habit, may not give any sense or meaning. (Wikipedia)
