DISPLACEMENT – what is home? | BFS in concert
Why do we miss home when we are not there? Is the home we miss a specific place or an abstract feeling? What is "not being home" supposed to mean?
With the concert programme "Displacement", which brings together selected non-European composers, the surreal feeling of being displaced is addressed and conveyed to the audience. The programme focuses on works by the BFS composer Yongbom Lee (South Korea). For him, the balance between his Asian roots and everyday life in Germany is a central theme.
For many decades, composers have been living in a so-called "hypercultural" society and searching for their own voice in music. Especially for composers of non-white skin colour, it is a great challenge to express their personality in music when it is created in a "foreign" environment. Despite their cultural uprootedness, or perhaps because of it, they incorporate elements from the places where they grew up. This is where conflict, reconciliation, change and redefinition occur.
