3x3x3, that’s three trios in three locations in Wuppertal. Wuppertal-based saxophonist Jakob Jentgens meets one other artist from Wuppertal and one guest from outside the city.

In the third part of 3x3x3, the Ensemble SOL, featuring Béla Bluche (double bass), Djamila Polo (dance) and Jakob Jentgens (saxophone), will be giving an insight into their joint research at the intersection of dance, music and performance at Tanz Station – Barmer Bahnhof.

How does that sound? “Warm, melodious, but also surprising and strange at times, emphatic and multifaceted. We explore the tonal possibilities of our instruments and their interplay, weaving melodies from baroque, classical, jazz and pop with free improvisations, sound experiments and our own compositions to create musical stories.”

And what does that look like? “Dance is considered a visual form of sound. Djamila combines everyday movements, miming and theatrical play with contemporary dance. Just as dance is thought of in musical terms, we also play with the physicality of the musicians, our positioning in the space, language, light and shadow effects.”
