Trailer for "Klassisch!" with Shani Diluka and Carlos Martínez
As a duo the accomplished pianist Shani Diluka and the master mime actor Carlos Martínez create “stories without words” on stage. The two artists “seduce” the audience and draw them into a poetic fantasy world where, for a short period of time, words are quickly forgotten and objects and emotions only exist in the mind. With courageous elegance the pianist and the mime actor enter into a dialogue between two classical art forms that merge into a harmonious ensemble. Poetic images beckon and seemingly effortlessly place the audience under their spell.
The first joint appearance of the pianist and the mime actor took place in 2013 at the Künstlerhaus, Boswil (CH), in response to an invitation by the festival “Boswiler Summer”. Immediately both artists became intrigued by the idea of combining classical music with the classical art of mime. In the delicate interplay on stage between piano and mime, the artists discovered the potential of new forms of expression, which were only possible in a collaborative venture. And so “Klassisch!” was born.
Shani Diluka and Carlos Martínez mesmerize the audience with a narrative rich in music, gesture, facial expression and nuance; a magical realm of fantasy… of musical stories where words and texts cease to exist. A mysterious and playful space that releases the imagination to explore new paths and to give spirit to fresh images. The artists provoke and challenge each other mutually.
Klassisch! is not a piano recital nor a mime performance, but the experience and expertise of two performing arts professionals, creating a profound dialogue between themselves, their two distinct art forms and the audience.
