I am Viola da Gamba

I am Viola da Gamba is based on the book “I am Viola da Gamba of the Singing Building” (Schortgen
Press, 2005) by Dana Rufolo. The poems tell the story of a Viola da Gamba which is
on display in the musical instrument collection of the Conservatoire of Luxembourg.

The performance took place at the Conservatoire de Luxembourg on 27 April 2013. The production is a fusion of poetry, music, song and projected
photographs in a Gesamtkunstwerk.
