Francesca Le Lohe · "After 9-5"
Created through an ongoing exchange between Francesca Le Lohé and Berlin-based writer, Charlotte Wührer. The exchange began when Francesca composed a new short work for solo sho in response to Charlotte’s fiction work “Nine-to-Five”. Charlotte then wrote new text in response to this music, which was then passed back to Francesca to respond to with more new music etc. This “back-and-forth” of inspiration culminated in the piece “After 9-5”.
