zezek [зек – russ. Convict] deals with texts written in prison by Maxim Zink and other authors, which form a thread from the prisoners to freedom, to self-determined communication, to their survival and our knowledge of their life situation. zek #2 commemorates the fate of Masha Kalesnikava, Maxim Znak and other political prisoners.

For zek#2, the Argentinian composer Jorge Chikiar composed his experimental multimedia microopera "Entre Líneas" for performers, objects and electric agitators, which will be premiered at Gedok Stuttgart.

Karolin Schmitt-Weidmann plays works by Osorio, Oliveros, Saariaho and Stroppa. She dedicates the performance of "little i" to Maria Kalesnikava with the following words:

Dear Maria,
Since I took up my professorship at the HMDK Stuttgart last winter semester, you seem to have accompanied me in a certain way. My close colleague, Klaus Dreher, gave me the book Zekamerone, Piet Meyer and Marco Stroppa told me that you have performed the piece "little i" several times - a piece that I am playing in my inaugural concert. We were born in the same year, play the same instrument and have a similar focus (new music, early music). I hope very much that one day we will meet in good health and in freedom!
Karolin
