The Challenge of Being Together at MaerzMusik 2026
Sound as haptic, spatial and architectural experience remained in the spotlight this year at MaerzMusik, but the promising interplay between different senses was a case of practice falling short of theory. “No Strings Attached” was the slogan for 2026, where vague statements about “being together” in “a moment marked by uncertainty, rupture and possibility” didn’t seem to take any particular form.

Laughter at the Threshold: ‘Finite Jest’ at Sophiensaele
What’s worse than the insincerity of comedy as a response to the grave? The performance of sincerity. Unsolicited, self-serving gestures of moral goodness; the arrogance of assuming one’s offers, made “in good faith,” are what the sick, suffering and dying want and need. Worse still is the offence felt by the good-giver when their well-meaning gestures don’t land as expected. Melanie Jame Wolf…
