Say That You Love Me: Ich-Botschaften an die Musik
Gare du Nord, Basel (Schwarzwaldallee 200)
«Say That You Love Me» – I-messages to music. A deconstructed song recital
A singer, a pianist. Relationship status: it's complicated. Wasn't everything real and easy in the beginning? Somehow totally true and with butterflies in your stomach? And now – fears and tensions, self-doubt, alienation and evasive manoeuvres. What now? How do you find that great, one true love again? Love at first sight.
The love of... music! Therapy?
A singer, a pianist, in couples therapy with music. Mythical elements are conjured up, biographical details are sorted out, and chance is also given space. Seven sessions to recover what has been buried, to rethink what has been remembered, and everyone is allowed to speak for exactly the same amount of time. The goal? «Love me, love me. Say that you love me.»
