Fantasies
Composition and cooking, tasting and listening are all temporal experiences that are linked to our senses.
We tend to eat and listen ‘with our eyes’ before we actually activate the relevant senses of taste and hearing. The visual image in our brain instantly creates a certain expectation and thus adds an element of comparison to our experience.
The idea behind “Fantasies” is to allow the other senses to be experienced in their own right, without the domination of visual engagement, and thus enable the audience to give in to the pure experience, without preconceptions.

64 THINGS SHOW
Imagine....a classical concert where no one knows what's going to happen next, neither the audience nor the performers. imagine a classical concert where the audience has an active part in the performance. We created a list of 64 things. Just before the show begins the audience pulls out of a hat the pieces that will be performed in the show, so every time is different and unique.
Classical music is engraved in our souls. Nevertheless, the traditional concert is a rigid ceremony-like format, where the audience is not actively involved in the creation process: 64 things is aiming to change this. instead of recreating- creating, instead of passive listening- active listening and participation.
