On a cold, uncomfortable evening, a couple of odd characters meet under a bridge. They are not fans of big words and none of them really knows where they are actually heading. But somehow the four loners sense that they can achieve something together. They soon realise that it's not just melancholy that unites them: One has a trumpet with him, the next an accordion, the third a clarinet and the fourth a full-blown double bass.
Through music, they get to know each other from their charming, witty side - and they develop a plan: together they go in search of the place where everyone is supposed to be happy - Umbidu. With music by Bach, Purcell and Ligeti, the goal gets closer and closer - because when you realise that you can do something really well, you end up feeling pretty cool.
With wacky improvisations, delicate noises, wild sounds and a fascinating fantasy language, they tell of their experiences on the way to Umbidu. A concert about dreaming without words.
A co-production of KölnMusik, with Lucerne Festival, the Philharmonie
Luxembourg, the Bregenz Festival and Jeunesse Austria.
