The Elegant Wanderer - Viola & Butoh Concert

The Elegant Wanderer An original viola concert shaped through butoh dance The Elegant Wanderer is a timeless witness, wandering through memories, places, and moments beyond time. Like butoh, the Wanderer’s journey unfolds without seeking a destination, carrying only the traces of life. Through movement and the voice of the viola, she shares what she has witnessed: life and death, longing and belonging, joy and sorrow, stillness and transformation. Butoh is a Japanese contemporary movement art rooted in transformation, impermanence, and deep presence. Inspired by its philosophy and practice, violist and butoh practitioner Heri Shin has developed a unique artistic language where body, movement, and sound become inseparable. Rather than movement accompanying music, they arise from the same body and memory, breathing together. This concert presents Heri’s original compositions for viola, each created through her butoh practice. Music and movement unfold as one continuous expression, inviting the audience into a shared space of listening, presence, and transformation. The Elegant Wanderer invites you to enter a space of witnessing, where music, movement, and emotion unfold together. with special guest performer Rand El Zein Details 🗓️ Date: Wednesday, July 29th 🕡 Time: 20:00–22:00 📍 Location: Die Wiesenburg Berlin, Wiesenstraße 55, 13357 Berlin About Die Wiesenburg A place where history, nature, and art coexist in Wedding, Die Wiesenburg is one of Berlin’s hidden architectural treasures.
