From Goethe Institut:
Improvised music does not mean playing music arbitrarily.
Improvisation requires holding together contrast aspects. You need to listen carefully to different sound layers played by other musicians in every moment. At the same time, you have to be acute and master your instrument to respond quickly to those sounds and still be subtle enough to decide to join or to be silent. You can play some similar sounds to support your colleague(s) but at some point, you also need to oppose them etc. Accordingly, improvised music is a fusion of experience and skill, of stillness and sensitivity.

CINEMA
Registration link
From the organizer:
We Come Into Life tells the story of the precarious world that two young adults find themselves in following the sudden death of their parents. In an invisible consternation, sister and brother try to find a way to survive. They lose their innocence and come of age amidst an intense urban rhythm of sadness and wilderness. The film captures this special moment of the young characters, faced with a reality of contradiction and tragicomedy aplenty. A strange energy of those hailing from the new generation – unstable, stateless, yet full of life.
