Incarnant plusieurs personnages, elle essaye de s'accrocher tant bien que mal avec l'aide des musiciens qui sont aussi perdus ou inconscients. C'etait intéressant d'etudier la manière d'intégrer au theatre la musique mais aussi les musiciens. Jouer ensemble c'est déjà une forme d'amour, d'entraide.<br> <br> <br> <i> <b>Q:</b> Est-ce que votre musique exprime des sentiments ? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>R:</b> Chaque coeur est different. A vous d'en apprécier ! Pour <i>"Donna Odokia"</i>, sentir l'âme représente une vraie consolation devant le vide existentiel je pense. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>Q:</b> Lorsque vous composez, pensez-vous au public d'aujourd'hui qui a encore des réserves par rapport a la musique contemporaine ? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>R:</b> A part quelques cas isolés (commandes spécifiques), je laisse ma créativité déborder avec générosité. Quand on a les moyens, pourquoi limiter son imagination, son champ de vision personnel, afin de rassembler un consensus ou une unanimité populaire. <br> J'ai toujours eu du mal a me conformer aux décisions d'un groupe, quel qu'il soit d'ailleurs. Néanmoins, par curiosité informelle j'essaye de toujours situer l'accessibilite du public par rapport a mes oeuvres. Les réactions d'un groupe, public ou masse de gens me fascinent énormément. Je les assume en les intégrant dans mes pièces quand c?est possible. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>Q:</b> Que serait notre vie sans musiques nouvelles ? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>R:</b> Une cage d'or... bientôt horrible. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>Q:</b> Quel figure de l'histoire de la musique aimez-vous le plus ? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>R:</b> ...John Cage... <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>Q:</b> J.S. Bach a dit il y a presque 300 ans: <<Le but et la fin de toute musique doit être la louange de Dieu et la recreation du sentiment. Si vous ne vous souciez pas de ceci, ce n'est plus de la musique mais un braillement diabolique et monotone." - Comment réagit aujourd'hui un compositeur a propos de cette déclaration? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>R:</b> Cette affirmation esthétique est vue sous un certain angle religieux qui est compréhensible. Néanmoins, je pense que de nos jours énormément de gens ressentent cela mais n'utilisent pas cette formulation. Les réelles avancées de la musique ont été assimilées très lentement et de manière encore isolée. Je pense aussi que les compositeurs cherchent toujours, et changent de but, de cible, de matériaux, d'outils. Les "frontières" du mot "musique" se sont élargies presque a l'infini... <br> <br> </div> <big><big><small><small style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"><b>6 Fragen an Alin Gherman </b></small></big><small style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"><small>(Tonhalle Z&uuml;rich, Februar 2008)</small></small></small></big> <a href="javascript:toggle76();" id="displayText76">&gt;&gt;</a> <div id="toggleText76" style="display: none;"> <img style="width: 20px; height: 12px;" alt="" src="germanflag.jpeg">&nbsp;<font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font color="#666666"><font size="-2"><big<small> <br> <br> <i> <b>F:</b> (Jens-Peter Schuette) Worum geht es in Ihrer neuen Komposition? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>A:</b><i>(Alin Gherman) </i> Um den Todeskampf einer in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft verlorenen Frau. Sie versucht, mehrere Personen verkörpernd, sich einigermassen zu halten, unterstützt von den ebenfalls verlorenen oder bewusstlosen Musikern. - Mich interessierte besonders, einen Weg zu suchen, wie ins Theater die Musik und zugleich auch die Musiker selbst integriert werden können. Miteinander spielen ist schon eine Form der Liebe, des Beistands. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>F:</b> Druckt Ihre Musik Gefühle aus? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>A:</b> Jedes Herz ist anders. Entscheiden Sie ! Für <i>"Donna Odokia"</i>, denke ich, stellt das Spuren der Seele angesichts existentieller Sinnlosigkeit einen wirklichen Trost dar. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>F:</b> Denken Sie beim Komponieren an das heutige Publikum, das zeitgenössischer Kunstmusik bekanntlich eher reserviert gegenübersteht? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>A:</b> Abgesehen von gewissen vereinzelten Fallen (nämlich bestimmten Auftragen) lasse ich meiner Kreativität möglichst freien Lauf. Wenn man die Mittel hat -warum seine Imagination, seine Visionen begrenzen, nur um einen Konsens oder populäre Einmütigkeit zusammenzubringen? Ich habe immer Muhe damit gehabt, mich den Entscheidungen einer Gruppe anzupassen, gleich welche das gewesen sein mag. Nichtsdestoweniger versuche ich, aus sozusagen informeller Neugierde, immer auch die Empfänglichkeit des Publikums für meine Werke einzuschätzen. Und die Reaktionen einer Gruppe, Öffentlichkeit oder Masse faszinieren mich. Ich greife sie auf und integriere sie soweit moglich in meine Stucke. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>F:</b> Was wäre das Leben ohne neue Musik? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>A:</b> Ein goldener Käfig ... bald grauenhaft. <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>F:</b> Welches ist die Figur der Musikgeschichte, die Sie am meisten lieben? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>A:</b> ...John Cage... <br> <br> <br> <i> <b>F:</b> J.S. Bach sagte vor fast 300 Jahren: "Aller Music Finis und End Uhrsache soll anders nicht als nur zu Gottes Ehre und Recreation des Gemüts sein. Wo dieses nicht in Acht genommen wird, da ist's keine eigentliche Music sondern ein teuflisches Geplärr und Geleyer." - Was sagt ein Komponist heute dazu ? </b> </i> <br><br> <b>A:</b> Diese ästhetische Aussage hat eine - verständliche - Religiose Perspektive. Ich denke, dass wohl ziemlich viele Leute in unseren Tagen, auch wenn sie nie diese Formulierung gebrauchen wurden, genauso empfinden. Die wirklichen Fortschritte der Musik wurden nur langsam und sehr isoliert aufgenommen. Ausserdem sind die Komponisten ständig auf der Suche, andern ihre Absichten, Ziele, Materialien, Werkzeuge.

El e pianist compozitor iar ea poeta (poetesa in franceza).<br> Secretul intalnirii lor? Alin a compus teatru musical, un nou si modern gen muzical dupa piesa Ceciliei, Donna Odokia. Iar spectacolul, organizat de Fundatia pentru promovarea muzicii tinere, s-a tinut la Zurich, in Elvetia, in data de 7 februarie 2008, in prestigioasa sala Tonne Halle. Biletele pentru cele 600 de locuri, s-au vandut de buna vreme, asa ca in ziua spectacolului, in zadar incercai sa gasesti un loc, caci era imposibil.<br> Spectacolul a fost pe masura asteptarilor. Ilustrarea muzicala a piesei Donna Odokia, cat si piesa in sine, cu care a format un tot, au fost mult apreciate de catre critica si spectatori. Spectacolul a fost sustinut de 4 instrumente : corn englez, viola, pian si heckelfon (un instrument din familia oboiului) si de actrita Vera Bauer, care a declamat in limba germana.<br> Autoarea piesei a pornit de la personajul mitic Baba Dochia, care-si leapada cojoacele si caruia i-a dat o interpretare moderna, actuala. Donna Odokia e o satira la adresa genului decadent << one women show >>, care vrea sa dea iluzia ca este teatru. Donna ODOKIA reprezinta de fapt mai multe personaje intr-unul singur.<br> Unul dintre ele, ar putea fi o femeie care intampina greutati majore in viata si care nu-si gaseste locul in societatea contemporana, motiv pentru care se autopersifleaza. Isi pune intrebari asupra vietii ei si a vietii in general, fara sa gaseasca raspuns, caci cu cat se intreaba mai mult, cu atat apar mai multe intrebari fara raspuns.<br> Baba Dochia din mitologia romaneasca, reprezinta doar o fateta a personajului Donna Odokia conceput de autoare. Donna ODOKIA e refractara automatismelor, rutinei si convenientelor din societatea in care e obligata sa traiasca. Salvarea o gaseste in identificarea cu altii, ca o etapa initiatica necesara, care-I permite sa-si continue interogatia asupra vietii si sa gaseasca rapsunsurile.<br> Cateva cuvinte despre autori : Cecilia Burtica s-a nascut la Caracal in 1980, a urmat Facultatea de Litere la Universitatea din Craiova, unde-si da doctoratul in prezent. E poeta, dramaturg, critic literar, traducatoare, scrie in romana si franceza.<br> Alin Gherman e un tanar compozitor pianist nascut la Cluj Napoca in 1981. A terminat Conservatorul Regal din Bruxelles, diplomat in pian, muzica de camera si compozitie. Actualemente, face masteratul in teatru muzical la Berna, ceea ce i-a permis sa fie selectionat pentru spectacolul de la Zurich.<br> Urmatorul concert al lui Alin va fi in 11 aprilie 2008 in Grosse Konzert Saal, in Berna.<br><br> </p> </div> <br> <br> <big><big><small><small style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"><b>"Musique d'avenir" </b></small></big><small style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;"><small>(émission de la <b>Radio</b> Suisse Romande, Espace 2, Genève, 16 janvier 2011)</small></small></small></big> <a href="javascript:toggle131();" id="displayText131">&gt;&gt;</a></small></small> <div id="toggleText131" style="display: none;"> <img style="width: 20px;
