“ Erdenmarsch, which is to say, ‘march of the earth’. But what’s that supposed to mean? The planet earth marching? Humankind on the march? In Mahler, it is the earth that sings the song of earthly existence. Here, however, there is no singing. This is a forced march, all together, marching toward... The four columns of three performers each march to the relentless, inexorable beat of an immense drum. These percussionist soldiers seem to be under the spell of some arit h metic order. For them, the only way out is anarchy and c h aos!”.
