Performance for solo voice at Praetorium in Cologne

Saturday, Nov. 5th
9pm and 11.30pm

Tickets und Info

The Praetorium, the magnificent former governor’s palace was the center of power of the Roman Empire on the Rhine: There were all important decisions made.
At the “Long Night of Cologne Museums” Natascha Nikeprelevic is invited to use the ruins of this historical location as a backdrop for her new piece. Where once proclamations and decrees had far-reaching consequences the mindless word structure and fervent speeches of the vocalist Natascha Nikeprelevic work especially for the moment. In her virtuosic musical language she creates miniature-like dramas that illuminate the instrument: VOICE as a power tool of manipulation. The buzzing, crackling, soft voice evocative, heartfelt singing actress covers with an almost anachronistic sense the gap between today and at that time.

The Power of Voice: Live-Interview at DRadio Wissen (in german only)

Performance “allEin“ and workshop excerpt of “The Dao of Voice“ at Taipei National University of the Arts, June 2009 (84 minutes, english/chinese).

The DVD contains the teachings of German performer-vocalist Natascha Nikeprelevic. The second part is a registration of the live performance of allEin, her major solo piece, also made at the TNUA.
It is high time that a female performer gets a platform to show what is possible for women in overtone singing, since in my experience there are always so many women at workshops!
Natascha is probably the person best suited for the job: her method and explanations, taken from Michael Vetter’s groundbreaking work as a performer and teacher during the last 30 years, are lucid and effective.
The DVD gives a concise version of several days of workshops by Natascha, highlighting the most important instructions. She explains them clearly in English, and there are Chinese subtitles. (Mark van Tongeren)
