Themus Ensemble

Music and Mouvement

Working Time
A theatrical concert for trio, performed in a non-traditional manner. The music is based on percussive sounds for cups, pens, papers, stapler, coffee machine, table and electronics.

The musicians tell the story of three people working at an office. They love coffee breaks and do not really work well together.

Improvisations as well as graphic and notated scores. Paper Dance, Coffee Time, factory Time and Working Time are a few of the pieces tied together to form a fluent show, played without a break. Various parts are choreographed which brings important visual aspects to the story.

Duration: about 60 minutes.
