Yodelling, violins and drums can be heard by the lake. It’s a premier for NOLDI ALDER & BEATRICE GRAF. Then there is EMILIE ZOÉ; she sings her songs alone and towards the fishing boats and pikes.

TAKE AWAY

In the rootlessness of this networked world, we need something old-fashioned; ­rituals, presence, closeness, encounters, a break. On the outskirts of the KILBI we can have a banter, but listening is nice too. Noise, but mainly from people. Out there is a place for strolls, a place where you can hug a solitary cherry or apple tree like an old hippie.

Someday the last words of the performing artist will be sung in choirs.

Somehow, we never invent anything solely by ourselves.

Somethings are really nice down here.

The KILBI team offers their gratitude to everyone who is elated by music and who shows an interest in our organisation.
