A German Requiem for Windows is an in situ performance in the Target Atrium of the Minnesota Orchestra and a response to the simultaneously staged A German Requiem by Brahms in the main concert hall. The window piece, based on the singing voices, will resonate Brahms’s opus and will be visible from the in- and outside creating a situational relationship with the audience on both sides of the windows. It will develop a temporary space, in which a common musical experience will open up for new multi-faceted encounters.

Berlin-based artist Marit Neeb is interested in the possibilities of creating resonance between disparate bodies in the broadest sense. Her working method approaches texts of different sources ––voice and speech, movement and choreography– as one and the same fluidly interwoven phenomena of different manifestations.
Since 2011, Neeb has worked on what she calls ‘Resonance Structures’. These are performative installations for dynamic bow structures whose rhythmic choreographies follow compositions based on spoken language.
Recently, Neeb has presented her work at HELLERAU – European Center for the Arts Dresden, L40 Berlin, and haubrok foundation Berlin.
For her residency at FD13 in the Twin Cities Neeb will continue this multi-sensorial investigation whilst extending it onto the human body for the first time.
Thank you to Jessica Rau from the Minnesota Orchestra for the help and support.
