»New music doesn’t just mean playing the instrument that one or the other has perhaps experienced before, but also showing new sounds, new presentations, working with video,« says percussionist Vanessa Porter on SWR2. She opens the Eclat Festival in Stuttgart on Wednesday evening.

This year, the Festival for New Music is getting up close and personal with the audience: the audience stage at the Stuttgart Theaterhaus is being completely expanded. Vanessa Porter is also increasingly trying to design her program in such a way that there is a direct exchange with the audience. Nevertheless, she usually performs on the classic frontal stage: »It’s simply closer now, that’s new for me. For the most part, I always play my works by heart. And I find this direct contact extremely important.«
