Pianist and toy pianist Mirjam Waser brings an extraordinary performance to the LAC: a Dadaist-style musical happening. This happening pays homage to Dadaism, but with the clear intention of transposing its spirit into today’s sociopolitical reality. The main goal of this project is to bring current global issues—such as climate change, the spread of fake news, the resurgence of nationalist and fascist ideologies, and the new arms race—to the forefront through the lens of Dadaism: absurd, critical, ironic, and poetic. All the compositions are characterized by great stylistic variety, theatrical elements, and a strong penchant for sonic experimentation. The result is a musical and theatrical performance that is at once lively, entertaining, eccentric, and profound. Let yourself be surprised and witness the rebirth of Dadaism in Lugano. The performance will also feature the world premiere of a Dadaist-style piece by Geneva-based composer Daniel Maszkowicz.

Born in Bern, Switzerland, she has consistently embodied the charm of music, shaping a distinctive and multifaceted artistic journey. As a child, she immersed herself in music, studying the piano, violin, and viola, while also cultivating a love for singing and dance. Mirjam Waser continued her academic studies at the University of Bern, where she focused on musicology and theater and dance studies. Her curiosity and passion for performance led her to Belgium, where she honed her piano skills at the Conservatoire royal de Liège. Even during her bachelor’s studies, she demonstrated a strong interest in contemporary music and improvisation, which have become central elements of her artistic identity. This deep passion for the contemporary repertoire brought her back to Switzerland, where she earned a master’s degree in Contemporary Music Performance and Interpretation at the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana in Lugano, graduating with highest honors. As a performer, Mirjam Waser’s artistic activities span all of Europe, where she also delights audiences with her explorations of Dadaism and theatrical elements in music. An advocate of unconventional soundscapes, she is also a passionate toy-piano player who expands the expressive possibilities of this unique instrument. Through her work, Mirjam Waser continues to push boundaries, redefining the relationship between music, performance, and theatricality.
