Akkorde.online is based on the everyday scenery of meetings and walks of dog owners in nature. The eight performers set off with their objects. This occasionally crosses or touches the visitor path. Mistresses and masters allow themselves to be chased by their dogs. Sometimes she drags and pulls him behind her like the weight of the world. Instruments The performers have specially built, roadworthy accordions with them. They use old instruments that are no longer suitable for normal playing. Wheels are mounted under both fixed parts of the accordion. This special rolling material and the unevenness of the road cause the bellows to move in the air. This allows stuck notes to sound. Musical concept Different types of accordion are used, chromatic and diatonic. In addition to the tonally and rhythmically fluctuating accordion sounds, whose differentiation is also made possible by the spatial movement concept of the group, the group also performs vocally with all the commands, stammering, panting and snorting, as an expression of love and suffering between dog and master.
