URSONATE (solo)

Cora Schmeiser - voice and performance

Performance of the (complete) Magnum Opus by the German Dadaist and sound poet Kurt Schwitters. "With daring ease Cora Schmeiser guides you past breathtaking scenes of absurdities. You experience how vocals and consonants are refined to their purest forms while hissing, scraping, and thumping. Book your one-way ticket from 'fümms' to 'täää' now. A spectacle in primeval sounds and images you can't miss! Almost 90 years after its premiere still amazing!"
