Soon Gośka Isphording will be playing four solo pieces for Harpsichord in Poland. These days we worked on the piece ‘howto jouïssance‘ by composer Nina Fukuoka where life action is involved as well as video. Quite a challenge for a performer on stage. We worked on the body language of the more theatrical leads in this piece of over 10min. Does the face remain neutral? Is it allowed to be funny? Is there a rapport with the audience?

Homo ludens – recital by Gośka Isphording

Nina Fukuoka’s howto jouïssance is an intensification of the experience of play that goes beyond ordinary pleasure. The pleasure Fukuoka speaks of is associated with risk, tension and even moments of suffering, which puts the concept of  homo ludens  in a new light – it appears here as a space of creative enthusiasm and existential reflection.
