Two cellists meet their audience. No concept, no plan, just sounds that mix and change as they are created. They play with the audience rather than in front of it. The audience is part of the music that is created. A game without a purpose.

What happens to music when you let yourself be guided by trust and the means of improvisational theater? When you stop trying to be interesting and instead try to be interested? When musical liveliness and playful openness gain the upper hand over perfection and the pursuit of popularity. Cellists Simon Hoffmann and Moritz Ebert create sounds in the moment and compose in real time: free improvisation - playing with the unknown

Moritz Ebert and Simon Hoffmann are two Berlin-based cellists who meet where classical tradition and free improvisation collide. Their musical backgrounds are different: Moritz's classical path via the conservatory led him from Graz to Vienna before he moved to Berlin and turned to jazz, folk music and free improvisation. He is co-founder of the improvisation trio Softblock and a member of the board of the 1781 Collective, which rethinks the staging of classical music. Simon's path through conservatory took him through Berlin, Paris and New York and included seven seasons with the Israel Philharmonic, with whom he toured worldwide. During these tours, he launched electronic-influenced projects such as Frozen Fields, OPTN, Mohobrac and L.o.O.P., which combined the cello with electronic music and club culture. Together they will perform with the Berlin improv theater group "Die Gorillas" in "Hello Cello".

The event will be held in English.
