The artistic focus of the Lieberknecht/ Zöllner duo is on spontaneous communication and synergy between dance and music. Both interact as performance partners out of the moment. Accordionist Eva Zöllner, who is at home in New Music, has been working with contemporary dancer and choroegrapher Britta Lieberknecht since 2023. They present the result of their working method developed in the dance and music performance series LEISE SCHÄUMT DAS JETZT as a duo with performances at music and dance festivals and in the context of visual art and architecture.
With great sensitivity and a strong intuition for the physical, the sound world of Eva Zöllner’s expressive accordion playing meets the differentiated and imaginative body language of Britta Lieberknecht. The extraordinary energetic connection of these two performers inspires the audience. In their dialog, the boundaries merge, music becomes movement and body movement becomes music, while the communication between the two, as subtle, contrasting or vehement as it may be, always remains surprising and enriching. Britta Lieberknecht has been producing dance performances to New, Old and Improvised Music since 1981.
