Cora Schmeiser - voice and performance
Johan van Kreij - electronicsArnold Schalks - technique and design
'FOUR' is a musical theater performance by Cora Schmeiser. Starting points are the four temperaments: four composers (Boudewijn Tarenskeen, Nicoleta Chatzopoulou, Johan van Kreij, Daniël Hamburger) each wrote a suitable composition for voice solo, some with electronics. Cora Schmeiser lets visitors have a look inside her acoustic laboratory of emotional chemistry.
'Four' was performed in Podiumkunsten Emmakade, The Hague (NL) / Muziekgebouw aan het IJ, Amsterdam / the Big Hangar, Klaipeda (Lithuania).
Camera: Conny de Vugt and Bram Methorst. Editing: Conny de Vugt.
