Concert + Workshop | Wednesday, September 19 + Saturday, September 22 | Different Venues

Hübsch Martel Zoubek

European-Canadian Jazz trio on tour across Canada Hübsch, Martel, Zoubek - a viola da gamba, a tuba and a piano coming together. The result is an experimental music interaction that seems mysterious, quiet and free. The musicians' technique creates a musical diversity that transports the audience into another world. Carl Ludwig Hübsch is one of the biggest and most creative modern jazz composers.

Bettina Hoffmann: Choreography of Movement

Daily, from Sunset to Midnight
Presented on the Goethe-Institut’s windows on St-Laurent Blvd. and Ontario St.
 
Opening: September 20, 7:30 PM.
The artist will be present

Originally from Berlin, Germany, Bettina Hoffmann has been a major figure in the artistic scene in Montreal since the 2000s. Known for her photography, installations, and videos, Hoffmann’s work possesses an intriguing, enigmatic power derived in part through her precisely-composed images and choreographed movements and through her use of ambiguous human interactions void of psychology. Her body of work is at the crossroads between photography, film, sculpture and dance, with a particular focus in recent years on choreography. The Goethe-Institut is pleased to present three of her most recent dance-related works, Drain (2012), Hold-On (2015) and Silent Office (2016/2018)

Document of the week

Every week, we present a document from our collection that we find particularly interesting, captivating, informative or otherwise especially worth mentioning. This week:

From the longlist of the Deutscher Buchpreis 2018:

Anja Kampmann „Wie hoch die Wasser steigen“ (Carl Hanser Verlag, München, 2018)

 Anja Kampmann’s surprising novel tells in a dense, poetic language the story of a return from abroad, the attempt to find a way out of a bottomless working world into one’s own life.
