APOPTOSE
live at INTERMEDIALE Legnica,
2011
On
November 26, 2011, Apoptose played live at the INTERMEDIALE
Festival of
Audiovisual Forms in Legnica, Poland. Although this festival
took place
several times, it is still an insiders' tip for people who love dark
ambient and experimental audio and video art.
The
names in the lineup in Legnica may be not as "big" as the bands that
usually play at the nearby Wroclaw Industrial Festival, but they are
special none the less. The festival weekend in Legnica
is definitely worth a trip! So watch out for the next edition in
autumn! But first of all here are some personal
impressions and fotos of Apoptose's trip to Legnica in 2011.

The
venue in bright daylight: Modjeska Theatre, Legnica

The
Modjeska Theatre is a huge old building right in the city center of
Legnica (or Liegnitz as
it was called in former days). See some
more old and new pictures here:

The venue reminded me
of the Festival Musique Ultimes in
Nevers, France. This event took place 3 or 4 times in the 1990s in the
cosy Theatre Municipal in Nevers. The atmosphere inside was quite
similar to the ambience in Legnica's theatre.
And
most important for both audience and musicians: the Modjeska Theatre
offers good sound and the biggest video screen that I've ever seen at
an industrial/ambient event. Perfect conditions!

and
Inire (both from Poland).

atmosphere inside
the theatre: many
rooms, hidden spaces, stairs, corners ... and maybe some ghosts... ;-)

On
the day after the concert, a Sunday morning, I walked around the nearly
empty city center. The only people around were rushing to the churches
or walking their dogs. Quiet moments to take some
colourful photographic
souvenirs with my crappy camera.
