Fano 2014

Our second trial to research the possibilities of a multidisciplinary performance  was called "Fano" and took place in 2014. Alas Endris Hassen was unavailable at the time, so we worked together with a young and talented masinqo player by the name of Dawit Lensa. We planted some switches on the stage which we could use to invoke sounds and my choice, apart from sine waves and some industrial sounds were especially the sounds which everybody knew there: the telephone voice telling the connection is not possible, busy, or not enough money on the balance to make the call. For a short time there was even a voice at the traffic lights telling when to go and when not. So I implemented that too. Other parts included a Shellela dance by Melaku. We have a nice edit of excerpts available below.
