Cu artista ANNA LUCA POLONI pe urmele lui Orlando prin culturi, spaţii şi forme.
Peisajul muzical european s-a îmbogăţit la finele anului trecut cu ineditul LP Orlando Trip al duo-ului austriac Fox On Ice, format din scriitoarea, regizoarea și performera Anna Luca Poloni şi muzicianul și artistul video Christian Mair.
Încadrarea ca Pop-Rock al acestui album conceptual este pur formală, întrucât acesta se relevă ca un produs artistic cu totul ieşit din tipare, un must-listen care îşi extrage substanţa din literatură, spiritualitate, arte vizuale şi cele ale spectacolului deopotrivă.

Recently, I had the rare opportunity to experience a vibrant musical performance titled ‘Orlando Trip,’ presented by Austrian artist Anna Luca Poloni and her collaborator Christian Mair at the Barefoot Gallery Garden.
The event celebrated Austrian National Day and showcased their joint project, ‘Fox On Ice’, which delves into narratives of transformation through feminine and fluid perspectives. At the inter-creative crossroads of music, literature, film, and theatre, this dynamic duo passionately explores the complexities of identity and change.

Ihr „Orlando Trip“ hat Anna L. Krassnigg und Christian Mair schon ums halbe Mittelmeer geführt. Nun gibt es die „Cinematic Musical Show“ als Album.
Die Performance aus Musik, Film, Fotografie und Spoken Poetry erzählt in zeitgenössischen Lyrics (mit ein paar versteckten Originalzitaten) die Geschichte des jungen Adligen Orlando, der über drei Jahrhunderte in diversen Rollen und an den verschiedenen Orten lebt: Vom Hof Königin Elisabeths I. wird er Diplomat in Konstantinopel, wandelt sich zur Frau und wird im 20. Jahrhundert als Schriftstellerin berühmt.

“A good story is like a fit knife”. Anna Luca Poloni recites this sentence at the beginning and end of her production “Orlando Trip“, which she premiered in Austria together with Christian Mair at the festival “Europa in Szene” focusing on “Sea Change – the art of transformation” at the Kasematten in Wiener Neustadt.
The cinematic-musical show, produced under the label “Fox on ice”, leans on the tradition of “concept albums” with 12 songs. With his album “Frank Sinatra sings for only the lonely“, Frank Sinatra is considered the forefather of this genre, in which the individual titles refer to each other and thus follow a certain “concept”.

Guided by the artistic and academic vision of Anna Luca Poloni (aka Krassnigg, full professor of stage directing in Vienna), the work of Fox On Ice is deeply rooted in literary and academic research. Each production is developed with a strong focus on intercultural exchange.
The touring productions can be accompanied by workshops that invite audiences, researchers, artists and students to explore the broad meaning and impact of the chosen myths from a contemporary point of view. Collaborations with local institutions, universities and scholars further expand the project’s impact – extending the conversation far beyond the stage.
