AUT Presents: This is Going Well

(ENGLISH BELOW)AUT præsenterer This is Going Well, en personlig fortælling om identitet, selv-tvivl og facader af accordeonist/performer Jónas Ásgeirsson og lydkunstner/komponist Sophia Sagaradze. Jónas og Sophia transformerer ungdomskirken UngK til en audiovisuel repræsentation af Jónas' indre sindstilstand, med referencer til selvtvivl omkring hans identitet som solist, kunstner og instrumentalist. Kom og kig bag kulisserne, ind i personen ‘Solistens’ indre liv, hvor han ikke kan skjule sig bag sin instrumentale virtuositet - hvor et ukomplet og søgende menneske gemmer sig. Den side, der vender ud mod verden, repræsenteres af det traditionelle koncertformat, hvor Jónas fremfører værker, hvoraf de fleste er komponeret til ham. Gradvist begynder det indadvendende at overtage scenen, efterhånden som de instrumentelt virtuose værker af Hugi Guðmundsson, Friðrik Margrétar-Guðmundsson og Atli Ingólfsson træder til side for ekstra-musikalske, eksistentielt undersøgende værker af Marta Śniady, Sól Ey, Andrew Power, Áslaug Magnúsdóttir og Jónas selv, hvor Solisten tvinges til at konfrontere sit instrument og sig selv på en helt ny måde, og begge dissekerers til deres kerne. Denne installationskoncert er produceret med støtte fra KODA Kultur, Aarhus Kommune og Fondet for Dansk-Islandsk Samarbejde. _____________________________________________________ AUT presents This is Going Well, a personal story about identity, self-doubt, and façades by accordionist/performer Jónas Ásgeirsson and artist/composer Sophia Sagaradze. Jónas and Sophia transform the youth church UngK into an audiovisual representation of Jónas’s inner state of mind, referencing the self-doubt surrounding his identity as a soloist, artist, and instrumentalist. Come and look behind the scenes, into the inner life of “the Soloist,” where he can no longer hide behind his instrumental virtuosity—where an incomplete and searching human being is concealed. The side facing the world is represented by the traditional concert format, in which Jónas performs works, most of which were composed for him. Gradually, the inner world begins to take over the stage, as the instrumentally virtuosic works by Hugi Guðmundsson, Atli Ingólfsson and Friðrik Margrétar-Guðmundsson give way to extra-musical, existentially probing works by Marta Śniady, Sól Ey, Andrew Power, Áslaug Magnúsdóttir, and Jónas himself—where the Soloist is forced to confront his instrument and himself in an entirely new way, dissecting both to their very core. This installation-concert is supported by KODA Kultur, Aarhus Kommune og Fondet for Dansk-Islandsk Samarbejde _____________________________________________________ Tickets: 75 kr standard / 50 kr students (and under 26) Free for AUT members
