Dear Enthusiasts,
On Friday, 12 September 2025, Elshan Ghasimi will perform the fourth and, for now, final concert of her cycle “Tasneef” at the Tieranatomisches Theater (Campus Nord, Philippstraße 13, House 3, 10115 Berlin).
Start: 6:00 pm
Arriving a bit earlier also allows a look at the small permanent exhibition and the exemplary neoclassical architecture of the venue.
Admission is free.
All of Elshan Ghasimi's concerts

So now the plan is fixed! Who would have expected that suddenly everything would be moving so fast?? Elshan Ghasimi made a suggestion, I gratefully accepted: She wants to set 38 objects from the estate of El Arbi Bouqdib into music. She wants to translate them into her own subjective and beautiful language of Classical Persian Music. In dialogue with uncertain pasts.
The objects/souvenirs/relics – how should I call these memorial stones? – will be ’staged‘ by Michal Martychowiec. The objects, their symbolic qualities form a polyphonic chorus that speaks of Bouqdib’s life. As a curator working with such diverse artists as a Persian musician and Martychowiec, an intellectual interrogator of 20th-century art, it is my concern to bring these different modes, possibilities and qualities into a common form.
For this, however, we need a new concept … The idea of the concert exhibition just popped into my head. After all, Ghasimi is giving concerts and is composing for objects. So, Concert-Exhibitions. Ephemeral and permanent …
Yes, it’s a huge question how a life can (and should!) be told. And I am happy (and a bit relieved even) that this long story of Bouqdib, his life, his time, his person and his work begin with music. After all, what could be freer as an approach? Almost like a dance and very volatile.
Our concern is the poetic reconstruction of the past. Truth and Fiction (Dichtung und Wahrheit) like good old Goethe said.
I am very happy to supervise and curate this project!

Inge Buck & Elshan Ghasimi: „Was bleibt“
Berührt und inspiriert von dem zweisprachigen Gedichtband „Unter dem Schnee“ der Lyrikerin Inge Buck, übertragen ins Persische von Madjid Mohit, hat die iranische Musikerin und Komponistin Elshan Ghasimi eigene Kompositionen geschaffen. Die poetische Bilderwelt, die Rhythmen und Metaphern hat sie auf dem persischen Saiteninstrument Tar in eine kongeniale musikalische Sprache übertragen.
Ein poetischer Dialog zwischen Lyrik und Musik, zwischen Orient und Okzident, zwischen den Gedichten von Inge Buck und den musikalischen Interpretationen von Elshan Ghasimi: „Die Töne kommen zu mir, ganz natürlich wachsen sie, wenn ich die Gedichte lese.“
Ein Bogen zwischen den Kulturen wird gespannt. Im Dialog und in der Stille zwischen persischer Musik und deutschsprachigem Text entstehen vor dem inneren Auge der Hörer aus Zeilen und Tönen Welten: über Stadtlandschaften und Natur, Jahreszeiten und Lebenszeit, über Vergessen und Erinnern, über Krieg, Exil und Flüchtlingsheim, über die Sprache der Bücher und die Aufbewahrung von Verlorenem in einem Gedicht.
Elshan Ghasimi und Inge Buck, zwei Künstlerinnen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen, Sprachen und Generationen begegnen sich in ihrem Zusammenspiel: die Texte öffnen sich zur Musik, die Musik zu den Texten.
