FAQ
Which themes do you offer?
Currently we offer three different themes: Life, Love and Serenity. It's your decision which event you would like us to present at your venue.
"Life" is a series of pictures from early childhood to old age, capturing significant moments or characteristics of various life stages.
"Love" takes a look at the many different forms of love we can encounter in our daily lives.
"Serenity" shows a selection of individuals who all found their very unique place or setting of stillness and peace.

What compensation do you expect?
Since what we do is unique and outside the mainstream, and we understand venues may worry about financial risk when hosting us, we offer to perform for free, provided there are no audience admission fees and we can sell our CDs and prints after the show.
If you are a professional venue that would like to sell tickets for our show, we ask for a portion of the ticket sales, which depends on the size of the venue and/or number of tickets sold. We do not require any performance fees or advance payments.
We aim to keep any financial risks for venues as low as possible.
Of course, we are open to other forms of agreement as well. Please let us know!

How many people do you perform for?
So far, we have done shows for between 30 and 100 people. Depending on the room and audience size, we can go from an intimate setting to multiple projectors and enhanced presentation techniques.
Since we are working with projectors, there are theoretically no limits to the audience size. We are definitely open to experimenting with smaller and larger audience sizes.

How long is an event?
The event itself is about 75 minutes. Add 30 minutes in advance for the audience to arrive and settle in. After a show, many people like to stay, discuss the pictures and talk to the artists. This usually takes about another hour, during which the venue can offer beverages/drinks and snacks.
What do you need from the venue?
For the art photography:
We need a screen or white wall for the projection of our photographs, that is readily visible to all audience members. The size depends on how large the room and audience is. For larger venues, we also offer shows with multiple projectors that enhance the experience with animations and effects.
We can further clarify this in dialogue.
For the music:
Ideally a piano, if that’s not possible, then a keyboard plus amplifier/sound system.
For the poetry recitation:
Under certain circumstances a microphone plus amplifier/sound system. See further down: “Do you need a microphone and sound system?”
For the atmosphere:
We like to perform in darkened rooms, with candles providing ambient light. We are also open to a venue's unique options in creating a comfortable and contemplative atmosphere.
For the audience:
Comfortable seating, plus snacks and drinks/beverages that the venue would sell before and after the show, but not during, in order to maintain the contemplative atmosphere.

How do you present the photographs?
We project the photographs and use subtle animations and effects to enhance the experience. See the sample videos above.
Do you need a piano?
While a piano is ideal, we can also work with a keyboard plus amplification.
Do you need a microphone and sound system?
That depends on the room and audience size. The main question is: How well do softly spoken words travel? See the sample videos above to get an idea of the speech characteristics. If in doubt, it doesn’t hurt to have a mic and an amplifier ready in case we should need one. question 7
