COMPLAINTS CHOIR OF ST.PETERSBURG
"A Project which is fuelled by the energy used for complaining"
Artists Tellervo Kalleinen (FIN) and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen(DE) invite St.Petersburgians to complain about anything they want. The complaints will be transformed into an impressive choir song during a workshop.
The song will be composed and conducted by musicians Piotr Pospelov and Alexander Manozkov (Moscow).
Kalleinen and Kochta-Kalleinen have realized the Complaints Choir-project already in Birmingham, Helsinki and WIlhelmsburg-Hamburg.
The complaints collected to the project can vary from small daily irritations into big global issues. In Birmingham people complained about unfriendly bus drivers, people who stuck the road when you are in a hurry, expensive beer and slow computers. In Helsinki the most favorite topics were ring tones of mobile phones, people who smell in public transport, prices of Helsinki and the fact that women are still paid less than men. In Wilhelmsburg - a distant suburb of Hamburg - the complaints were far more political orientated.
The songs can be listened in: www.ykon.org/kochta-kalleinen
