The Baroness of Cosmic Arithmetics
NZZN Festival
9 - 11 October, 2015
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
The Baroness of Cosmic Arithmetics is work in progress in the form of a declamation inspired by the figure of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, a German-born avant-garde Dadaist artist and poet who worked for many years in New York City and was an early pioneer of sound poetry, drawing parallels between religious, scientific and sexual images.
NZZN (North-South-South-North) is a 3-day festival initiated by DE PLAYER and VROOOM, organised in collaboration with other Rotterdam-based organisations / venues that operate on the fringes of the Rotterdam subculture; Koffie & Ambacht (Le Sud), MiMa, Poortgebouw, foundation B.a.d, PAE, Noodlebar, Roodkapje, Wolfart Projectspace, De Nieuwe Ruimte. NZZN seeks to map out and showcase this peripheral Rotterdam of leftfield music, sound art, improvisation, and performance art with a vibrant mix of international and local artists.
This event is made possible with kind support of Popunie Rotterdam, City of Rotterdam Department of Culture, NFPK+, Mondriaan Fonds.
