FOR HEALTH REASONS THE EVENT "INTO THE CHRONOSPHERE", FROM JUNE 13-17, UNFORTUNATELY HAS BEEN CANCELLED!
In Into the Chronosphere, Sisi Bo’wale and his team weave performance, video, sound and design into a tongue-in-cheek, queer, Afrofuturist collage.
Three siblings lead a group of visitors through the „Museum of Contemporary Chronology and World History“. They play the role of the perfect guides. Yet in truth they are searching for an object that belongs to them — something from their world at the beginning of time, once stolen and archived.
Hope. How can one feel hope given the current political situation? Global tensions and political violence leave little room for it. And yet it is there, constantly taking on new forms. It sparkles in words and gestures, inspiring our shared pursuit of a better future. Can it be captured and described?
A group of young BIPOC adults gathered at Ballhaus Naunynstraße to explore, from their own perspectives and as people living in Germany, images and narratives of hope as an attitude, a fleeting moment, and a enduring force. Together with filmmakers DeLovie Kwagala (aka Papa De) and Gabriel B. Arrahnio as mentors, they developed their own short films, the Kiez-Monatsschau: Raising Hope.
In Arrival of the Village, documentary choreographer Magda Korsinsky and her team set out in search of transformed relationships — because the old model of the heteronormative nuclear family produces roles that often isolate, exhaust or create dependency. Recognition, desire, self-determination and equality fall by the wayside. And how can one be a role model when so much feels wrong? How can we expand our notions of family and live out collective care, shared responsibility and mutual empowerment?
