a new work by wandelweiser composer daniel brandes, for (more or less) 7 speaking, singing, playing musicians. throughout this piece, the musicians engage with a series of text fragments from: ulrike bail judith butler walter brueggemann karen dickey constance fitzgerald the prophet micah the propher habbakuk 1. nobody else could hope, except for those who grieve 2. possessed by a hope that is wordless and imageless 3. enter the silence again, in the midst of words 4. loss has made a tenuous “We“ of us all 5. they could barely whisper 6. in the midst of despair, it is possible to begin to speak 7. make space for the wounds: our woundings and woundedness 8. the stones of the wall will cry out/ and the beams of the wood work will echo it 9. only a poem could bring the grief to notice. the poem, so urgent and so fragile 10. (s)he would live into a future beyond imagining
