«Hitchhiking thorugh Winterland» is a journey through inner states. In a language of reduced movement, performer Cosima Grand passes through stages ranging from joy to hopelessness and despair.
The piece is a contemporary response to Franz Schubert’s song cycle «Winterreise» («Winter Journey») and a pop music roadtrip by musician Romain Mercier. Like Schubert, Grand explores the theme of the lonesome journey.
What emerges is the fragile path of a polymorphous body that is both in unity with and in opposition to its sonic surroundings and the space it inhabits. An ambivalent trip through the conflicting area between the within and the without, the familiar and the foreign, the secret and the sinister.
