Breath notes

Viviane Chassot sits on stage at the accordion. She practices and practices: English Suite No. 5 in E minor by J.S. Bach, composed for harpsichord, piano or clavichord. It's a kind of battle that wants to be won. After all, as an artist, you have to stand out from the crowd. For the soloist, this means tirelessly working on precision. She wants to make the impossible possible through personal commitment, the urge for recognition drives her incessantly, to the point of total exhaustion. And this has recently become noticeable. And that's why she ended up in Jürg Kienberger's therapy session. From his own experience, he knows the bright and dark sides of success on stage. She has chosen him as a companion in difficult times, because his business card says: music therapist with humor. She has lost this sense of humour lately. That's where expert help is needed.

The therapy session, which is presented to the public, is unconventional and full-length. In addition to philosophical reflections on the element of water, on the breathing of the instrument and the person who plays it, it contains an easily digestible three-course menu with excursions into music and comedy.
