When Favourite Songs Become Living Stories
On Sunday, November 22, 2026, Michikazu Matsune invites you to Favourite Songs of Düsseldorf at FFT Düsseldorf. The event combines a booklet presentation, conversation, and listening session into a personal exploration of the city's musical memories.
Music as Love Letter, Protest, and Memory
Favourite songs often tell more than one biography. They preserve the sound of a special day, accompany a breakup, articulate resistance, or open the door to a long-gone phase of life. Matsune asks people in Düsseldorf about their favorite song and gathers their answers in a publication.
A Listening Session with a Personal Touch
At the heart of the afternoon is the shared listening of selected songs. Instead of a classical concert dramaturgy, a concentrated space for memories, associations, and conversations emerges. The music becomes a starting point for encounters between the audience and the urban community.
Performance Art Between Documentation and Poetry
Michikazu Matsune was born in Kobe and has lived in Vienna since the 1990s. His work operates at the intersection of conceptual performance and documentary research. Poetry, humor, absurdity, and social observation collide in his stage performance. Projects like Goodbye, All Together, and Mitsouko & Mitsuko explore memory, identity, history, and personal narratives.
An Unusual Concert Experience in Düsseldorf
Those expecting a conventional stage performance with a fixed setlist will instead experience an open musical dramaturgy. Acoustics, voice, silence, and the audience's reactions combine to create an intimate concert experience. The listening session makes audible how differently music impacts daily life and what stories are attached to individual sounds.
Conclusion: Düsseldorf Listens to Itself
Favourite Songs of Düsseldorf invites you to not only consume music but to experience it as a repository of memories and a communal language. Visitors can expect a thoughtful, sensual, and surprising afternoon with Michikazu Matsune at FFT Düsseldorf. Those wishing to discover music as part of personal stories should experience this special format live.
