Hairy, Breathy, Scratchy: episodes from string life is based on sound situations of string instruments that we find in and out of the concert hall: the sound of a violin builder in her workshop, the one of a string quartet playing at a party in a villa’s garden, or in a city square, etc. With the recorded sound and video the quartet brings these realities into life on stage. They invite the public to experience the situations from a wide range between the distant to the closest possible.
