Alexander Balanescu
"Maria T, Alexander Balanescu’s personal homage to Maria
Tanase, was conceived as a multi-media experience, reflecting his interest in mixed-media performance. Working in parallel with acclaimed Austrian video artist
Klaus Obermaier, the two have created a compelling live show that toured the UK in Feb. Taking footage from
Maria Tanase’s live concerts, archive recordings of her songs, and images from Romania's history they have developed, re-imagined and manipulated them into a warm and tragicomic world of live music, archive sounds and video projections."
