Pure innocence is touching as it is simply beautiful. Yet, innocence might be toxic. And it could easily be misused and manipulated by people around us, or even by ourselves.
This year, we will present our annual November Concert Performance Series “Seven Deadly Sins” at KoncertKirken, featuring GREED/GRÅDIGHED through the teenage girl’s eyes. Experience how the deceiving clichés of teenagehood and the will to do good turns a (seemingly) innocent girl vulgarly rich.
【GREED/GRÅDIGHED/強欲】 We are going to celebrate our 6th anniversary of the Concert Performance Series “Seven Deadly Sins”. In November as always. This year’s sin: GREED/GRÅDIGHED/強欲. See you all at KoncertKirken on 18-19-20 of November.

“Eriko Makimura’s performance last night was an absolute disaster. A disgrace for the world of classical music. She had no respect for her audience in the way she mistreated Beethoven’s masterpiece. She is a self-proclaimed professional pianist whose talent is fading. Makimura does not belong in the music industry and is not worth your time.”

Ritual Ⅳ Intermezzo (Hypnotized in your own pink bubble) Ritual Ⅴ Farewell to all addiction which made her a delusional dopy saint. Face to nowness

Enough is enough. The pianist was here and she was overthrown by an overdose of sloth. The pianist will be reincarnated next year from the womb of another deadly sin.
A sincere thanks to the William Demant / Oticon Foundation for sponsoring this years concert performance: DOVENSKAB/SLOTH/怠惰.

The third week of November is almost here. Isn’t that the best time of the year to indulge in endless laziness? At least- that must be a perfect reason to drag your most lazy selves out to see Eriko Makimura & Co perform, perceive and pursue the deadly sin we named SLOTH.
The fundamental question is whether laziness still serves a purpose as a deadly sin, or if it rather has become a survival mechanism, that we all desperately need in order to go on living.
The pianist is a sad case, since giving in to laziness would mean the end of her career. So we wonder, could we create a new world order, where SLOTH no longer equals death, where even the world famous pianist from Japan could enjoy a few moments of laziness without guilt?
