Forget everything that you have heard up to now. There is no limit, everything is possible!
The theremin is the only instrument that is made to sound without being touched. The hands of the performer dance in the air, whereas traditional musical instruments are made to sound by blowing, bowing, plucking or striking. Invented by the Russian Lev Theremin in the 1920s, the theremin fell into oblivion for decades, one of the reasons being that only few compositions were written for this instrument. In TOUCH! DON’T TOUCH!, Barbara Buchholz and Lydia Kavina resume the thread of the history of the theremin with the help of new compositions and interactive projection. Five German and four Russian composers were commissioned to write pieces for two theremins and instrumental ensemble. The cooperation between these composers have placed a special emphasis on exploration and experiment, based on the possibilities of the instrument.
