The piano gets the absurdist treatment
Piano Hero is a musical one-man show for MIDI keyboard, live electronics, live-video and grand piano by Belgian composer Stefan Prins, in which the romantic piano virtuoso is placed into a technological and highly mediated 21th century palace of mirrors in which the piano is deconstructed and then put together differently. A by times Tati-esque interaction emerges between the physical hero on stage and his digitally splintered acoustic and visual avatars. Stephane Ginsburgh performs.

In collaboration with Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt. Produced in collaboration with de Bijloke, Gent and ICST Zürich.
