Alain Roche plays the piano in Munich’s Werksviertel – hanging from a crane, ten meters above the ground, where a concert hall is to be built. It is the start of a series of concerts at dawn.
half past six in the morning in Germany. A group of masked people, moderately well-armed against the damp cold, hurries through Munich’s Werksviertel. Through the darkness, past construction site signs that couldn’t withstand the storm winds. Your goal: a light in the distance. It’s not a street lamp that lights up, but a grand piano that, hanging from a crane, performs soft pendulum movements. Alain Roche will soon be playing the piano here. The slim, sinewy man is already swinging onto his bench, which floats away with the wing pointing upwards. He stops ten meters above the ground.
