A guy who plays the piano, obsessed with pianist and composer Clara Schumann, born two hundred years ago. An actress who dances and barely speaks. A violinist and cellist who get together and form a trio. A lighting designer taking a break from the mediocrity he deals with every day.
The third instalment of AMATEUR, following episodes devoted to Orlando Gibbons and the Goldberg Variations, “questions the hierarchies and conventions of the world of culture, art, and work as publicly construed. Through a practice that openly positions itself between artistic creation and biographical necessity, between culture and pleasure, it opens up a zone of reflection, perception, and exchange that responds to a personal and shared impulse – something potentially available to everybody – rather than some imposed artistic or cultural trend.” Oscar Cornago, researcher at the CSIC.
