Kommunikationsspiel

Jana Wirth

Description

A communication game inspired by Hans Wüthrich’s “Kommunikationsspiele”. The concept reflects the daily press conferences and their rituals during the corona crisis and transforms them into a musical communication game consisting of three (p)layers: The government (“Bundesrat”), Player I, informs the people, almost simultaneously translated by Player II into a (musical) sign language. The Players III, IV, and V act as “journalists”, interrupt the speech and start to ask uncomfortable questions.

Moreover, the concept applies implicitly the common experience of mutual contingencies and coordination problems while communicating under such “distanced” and asynchronous circumstances. Therefore this score seems very suitable for a realization via electronic communication media.
