Gestenstücke
Gestenstücke ("Pieces with gestures" or "gesture pieces") is a key work by Argentine-born composer Juan María Solare for four performers (mimes). In this piece, mute gestures are ordered with musical rules, following Solare's main conception of Neues Musiktheater: "To order non-musical elements (even non-sounding ones) with musical rules".
