There is hardly a venue in Leipzig as charming as the Philippus Church, currently under construction. Its atmospheric interior is the perfect atelier to create worlds from tradition and innovation. The international Kaluza Klein Artist Group wants to use this unique venue to call a holistic concert experience into existence: Using percussion, vibraphone and live electronics, their electronic and acoustic pieces that vary from contemporary music to trip hop both explore the depths of space and include them into the music. Accompanied by light performance, visualizations and poetry, the international artist group with its members from Taiwan, Spain and Germany intend to walk off the beaten path to experiment with space and its ever-changing sound phenomena.
Kaluza-Klein Theory
In the beginning of the 1920s, the mavericks Theodor Kaluza and Oskar Klein kept the world in suspense: They extended James Clerk Maxwell’s and Albert Einstein’s theories by an additional fifth dimension. The Kaluza-Klein theory, which was praised as “beautiful and impressive” by Einstein, influences theoretical physics down to the present day.
