JÁTÉK-BOX
JÁTÉK-BOX is an interactive performance conceived to honor and celebrate György Kurtág on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
Picking up on the inherent playfulness of the composer's Játékok — a collection of miniature pieces for solo piano whose title literally means "games" in Hungarian — the performance turns this music into a game: the audience not only randomly chooses which piece is performed, but can also disrupt the players and alter the pieces as they unfold.
Up to twenty original arrangements transform these solo piano pieces into music for an ensemble of piano, percussion, flute, trombone, and cello.
The installation, designed and built by artist Monika Nowak, extends this spirit of play beyond the stage, inviting the audience to explore the flexibility and creativity of Kurtág's miniatures firsthand. Come find them yourself!
