An Adventure with Manuela Hartel

 

Extraordinary performance concert consisting of four different video music performances. Special program highlight in the pad!

Manuela Hartel’s video music performance is like live artistic maxi video clips. The music along with the artist’s live vocals – stylistically a kind of morph from Meret Becker and Björk – is at the heart of the small audio-visual works of art:

Manuela Hartel stands inside a peepbox in the midst of the projection of a fairytale world, like a collage. The individual picture elements are arranged in the same way as in a stage backdrop. As a projection, this surreal world appears on a big screen in the middle of the real stage space. In front of the screen, the performer acts like the protagonist in a film. Movie magic and theatrical space overlap. Spoken and sung texts create an additional narrative-atmospheric level.

Manuela Hartel’s images and melodies come with such a captivating lightness and at the same time love for precision, that they immediately enroll in the viewers or listeners and make them addicted.

Suggestive, seductive and mysterious are the visual and sound worlds that Manuela Hartel developed, with an undisturbed courage to feel and with lust for opulence.
