the col­lec­tive

Sound­ing Sit­u­a­tions devel­ops high­ly inno­v­a­tive music the­ater where the per­form­ers and musi­cians, the audi­tive and the audi­ence meet in both phys­i­cal and imag­i­nary space for artis­tic action. Their projects cre­ate moments where polit­i­cal art, cur­rent ques­tions of our soci­ety, real­i­ty, utopia, and artis­tic mag­ic merge into a mul­ti­lay­ered art­work.

Often the group works between coun­tries, con­ti­nents, and cul­tur­al bound­aries in trans-tra­di­tion­al exper­i­ments hence over­com­ing chal­lenges and reveal­ing the beau­ty of our shared human exis­tence.

Isn’t that what polit­i­cal­ly moti­vat­ed art is sup­posed to do—open up per­spec­tives?

And isn’t that what art in gen­er­al should do, at least on an aes­thet­ic lev­el?

SECRET SUN is ris­ing – pre­miere in Ham­burg, then on to Berlin

Win­ter is com­ing, and with it the final part of our tril­o­gy Dis­tant Res­o­nances. We are imersed in rehearsals for SECRET SUN, an elec­tro-mass for the inner cir­cle, and the piece is tak­ing shape day by day. We are rehears­ing at the Kaiser-Friedrich-Gedächt­niskirche in Berlin, inflat­ing baloons, fans set spin­ning, and holo­gram images con­jured up across con­ti­nents. Our lit­tle dev­ils are find­ing their way into the space.

At the begin­ning of Decem­ber we all move to Ham­burg and into St. Gertrud, where the secret sun will rise! The world pre­miere takes place on Decem­ber 8 at 8 pm, fol­lowed by per­for­mances from Decem­ber 9 to 12 at 7 pm, as part of the Nord­wind Fes­ti­val and in co-pro­­duc­­tion with Kamp­nagel.

In April 2027 the jour­ney con­tin­ues in Berlin: from April 8 to 10, SECRET SUN 2.0 comes to the Sophienkirche in coop­er­a­tion with Sophien­sæle, where Meg Stu­art joins us and adds a whole new lay­er of move­ment and body to the piece.

Save the dates, bring your friends – and let your­self be ini­ti­at­ed!
