Prague Quiet Music Collective

Jánská / in Czech / 40 minut + discussion

Sitting is a unique performance combining Chinese tea ceremony (“gong fu cha”) and music that blurs the boundaries between composition and improvisation. The tea ceremony is a way to sharpen all our senses – hearing (the sound of boiling water); sight and touch (the appearance and touch of the utensils); the smell and taste of the tea. Music is a path along which time can be structured to bring us, repeatedly, to a new present moment. Tea ceremony as post-dramatic dramaturgy; a small theatre of details with its own laws and temporality.
