classical songs about female characters without sexism? representation of queer people in classical music? difficult to find. lis à lis wants to change this and works in their practice with classical music as a mouthpiece for queer-feminist concerns.
the duo (lis marti, lisa läng) from bern find themselves at the interface between new classical music, literature and queer-feminist activism. their first programme creates visibility and role models for queer people, combines classical music and literature and normalizes diversity on stage. the two-part concert includes a song cycle by robert schumann with a new version of the text by lisa läng. the second part consists of a composition by flurina zehnder to a text by kim de l'horizon. an introduction and a debriefing provide space for a discussion on how to deal with problematic texts in the existing core repertoire.
