When language becomes sound: Sounds & Spaces Ruhrort at Local Harmonie
On November 5, 2026, the Local Harmonie in Duisburg-Ruhrort transforms into an open resonance space for text, voice, and improvised music. Helen Brecht, Hanna Schörken, and Christina Zurhausen combine linguistic art, singing, and guitar into a fragile, immediate stage experience that transcends fixed genre boundaries.
Literature as a physical experience
At the center are texts by Helen Brecht, oscillating between literature, performance, sound art, and scientific reflection. Body, identity, vulnerability, perception, and societal realities form thematic fields of her work. Poetic images, linguistic shifts, and performative elements make language not just a bearer of meaning but also sound, rhythm, and physical presence.
Voice between composition and improvisation
Hanna Schörken leads her voice through free improvisation, jazz, and experimental music. Noise, language, and singing enter into an open dialogue. The dramaturgy arises in the moment: between concentrated silence, sonic densification, and spontaneous reaction. Thus, a theatrical atmosphere develops, where every breath and every pause gains significance.
Guitar sounds as a movable stage set
Christina Zurhausen expands the evening with guitar, electronic effects, textures, and spontaneous compositions. Her sound language moves between modern jazz, free improvisation, and experimental forms. The acoustics thus become the invisible stage set: sound surfaces emerge, break apart, and create new spaces for associations and resonances.
A series for diverse sound spaces
Sounds & Spaces Ruhrort presents FINTA musicians as well as women-read and queer artists from pop, punk, folk, jazz, singer-songwriting, and experimental music. Curated by Christina Zurhausen and Tina Bergs, each edition opens a new sound space. Local Harmonie serves as an artistic production site for music, theater, performance, sound art, and interdisciplinary encounters.
Conclusion: An evening for open ears
Sounds & Spaces Ruhrort promises no concert following a familiar pattern, but a concentrated stage experience between literature, voice, and sound. Those who want to directly experience the transitions between performing arts, performance, and improvised music will find an evening full of perception, tension, and surprising turns at Local Harmonie.
