NIGHT IS ALSO A SUN [airport suite no. 1] • SITE-SPECIFIC CHAMBER CONCERT • AARHUS AIRPORT, DENMARK • 2015 •
The first artistic meeting between Troels Primdahl and Decoda (affiliate ensemble of Carnegie Hall) caused another step into the field of site-specific performances. On a dark October night sixty people was invited to let themselves sink down in a nest of mattresses placed in the departure hall of Aarhus Airport. With references to Nietzsche’s Dionysian persona Zarathustra we intended to invoke and embrace the chaos of the night. The journey of the surrounding soundscapes went inward. To the darkest recesses and the discoveries of the deep lands between intimacy and introversion. And if you allow yourself to go deeper into the night, at a certain point you might realize the meaning of the dazzling darkness.
