Stefan Kurt / David Moss / Hans Peter Kuhn / Junko Wada

Drawing on the writings of the French humanist and sceptic Michel de Montaigne, the disparate team of Swiss actor and director Stefan Kurt, German sound artist and composer Hans Peter Kuhn, American vocalist David Moss and Japanese dancer and performer Junko Wada, depart on a joint search for lightness in the midst of the gravity of being.

Supported by musicians Martin Klingeberg and Michael Rodach, they enter a jungle of understanding and conjecture whereby they remain true to Montaigne’s maxim: “in the subject of which I treat, our manners and motions, testimonies and instances; how fabulous soever, provided they are possible, serve as well as the true.”

By and with: Stefan Kurt, David Moss, Hans Peter Kuhn, Junko Wada

Musicians: Martin Klingeberg,
Michael Rodach
