Simone Felbers Iheimisch
Avantgarde Folk
Simone Felber's iheimisch is a main and heartfelt project of one of the most prominent and controversial voices in new Swiss folk music. With the new production Totätanz, the ensemble tackles a universal but taboo subject: one's own mortality. iheimisch handles the dark topic with ease and writes sophisticated contemporary folk music about death and how we deal with it.
With their new production, "totätanz," the ensemble tackles a universal yet taboo subject: their own mortality. iheimisch handles this grim theme with lightness, creating sophisticated contemporary folk music about death and how we deal with it. The result is dance songs that question Swiss culture of death and mourning and are comforting and timelessly beautiful precisely because of their positivity.
