She embodies Pele, the fire goddess, who ignites passion in us, makes us debate heatedly and argue furiously. She paints a comforting picture of a familiar hand in your own in the dead of night. She leaves the space-time-continuum in search of the intangible that can be experienced but not explained:
BASSticcio – a multimedia microcosm of contemporary music for bass clarinet.
In her first solo programme, Anna Koch weaves innovative commissioned compositions with her own improvisations into an unheard-of whole, seeking to cross boundaries and find common ground.

Ein Musiktheater über Fremde, Ungleichheiten und Freundschaft
Nebenan, eine Geschichte über drei benachbarte Menschen, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Außer ihrer Liebe zur Musik haben sie nicht viel gemeinsam. Sie leben in ihrer kleinen Welt ohne aufeinander zu achten oder zu hören. Eines Tages bekommen sie Besuch von einem ungewöhnlichen Gast, der auf eine charmante Art versucht, die Leben der anderen durcheinander zu bringen.
