It is rare that a concert engages the audience’s sense of smell. Just as rare is the sight of musicians in headbands and gym shorts performing a two-hour workout routine – not only pushing the narrative, but the smell of sweat, all the way over the edge of the stage. Current Resonance didn't stay in their lanes, and in the work Musical Workout they invited the audience onto the floor to take part in an exquisitely awkward exercise session. It was grotesque – and very funny.

Graft, a piece situated somewhere between performance art, music theatre and a PE lesson, consisted of five works, all exploring the same theme: »work«, and with a neurotic, Monty Python-esque persistence, the ensemble pushed the concept to its extremes. Graft exposed the modern human’s fetishisation of hard work – our obsession with finding meaning and purpose. At the centre of the increasingly distorted narratives stood the four composers, each in comic denial, like four modern Sisyphuses.
