/ HARALD KIMMIG /
Harald Kimmig is an improvising musician and performer. In his work he uses improvisation to explore sounds and artistic forms and their interdisciplinary interactions with other arts. In his ensembles he plays improvised music. He combines sounds produced on the instrument with conventional violin playing in a virtuoso manner and has developed an unmistakable sound and style over the years. In his performances, he also combines his violin playing with dance and movement sequences, which makes his performances unique.
In these performances, Harald Kimmig uses a wide variety of media to examine the mechanisms of action of different genres and arts as well as their influence on the human self: the possibilities, challenges, problems, but also the joys in encountering the other, the foreign, the familiar. Multimedia stage plays and installations intuitively explore and play out the respective laws, the similarities and differences and the reflections in others. What keeps the network of connections intact – but how and when does it fall apart?
In the past, he worked with Peter Kowald, Cecil Taylor (CD ‘Corona’ Looking), John Tchicai, Steve Lacy, Anzu Furukawa, Hide Heshiki, Michael Schumacher and many more.
Currently violin solo, Trio Kimmig-Studer Zimmerlin; Trio KHW (with Sascha Henkel, guitar and Christian Weber, double bass); Duos with Erikm (electronics); with Sascha Henkel, guitar, electronics (le Manchot Analphabétique); Lilo Stahl (dance) duo; Emilio Guim (e-guitar), Ephraim Wegner (electronics), and other.

/ CHRISTOPHE MORISSET /
Director, musician, actor (born in France in 1969). With a degree in visual arts and trained in directing at INSAS in Brussels, he has long combined his diverse theatrical activities with his musical practice.
His interest in multidisciplinary performances leads him to interpretation, directing, or composing for various transdisciplinary projects (theater, dance, circus, puppetry). His musical practice (trombone, serpent, sackbut, tuba) in numerous professional ensembles spans from early music to contemporary music and improvisation.
He teaches the relationship between music and movement at ESAC (Higher School of Circus Arts, Brussels) and CNAC (National Center for Circus Arts, Châlons-en-Champagne, France).
Alongside his stage work, he develops illustration work under the name “Sapeur Papier.” Several toy theater game albums have been published by "Coco d'en Haut."
His passion for early music has led him to collaborate with Pierre Ribo to develop and promote the craftsmanship and practice of the serpent.
