Again and again We
A performance by HELLA LUX
On cosmic contact attempts, planetary self-expression and the question: would aliens date us?
In December 2023, NASA lost contact with the Voyager 1 space probe - and with it the Golden Record, the legendary message to possible extraterrestrial life forms. It contained star coordinates, music, images and greetings from humanity. But why was this message sent into space in 1977? To make a good impression during intergalactic encounters? Or was it a silent cry for help - from a world that has long since felt its ecological and social limits?
HELLA LUX takes up these questions and, together with the performer ASJA and the audience, develops a new interstellar message: the Golden Record 2.0. In a flowing interplay of performance and symposium, sounds, thoughts, images and objects emerge that create a contemporary "profile of the Earth" - one that allows for complexity, takes responsibility and sharpens our view of our present and future.
In a changing world in which artificial intelligence is beginning to think, the climate is speaking to us and societies are flickering between upheaval and disintegration, the question of the image we send of ourselves - and to whom - is more urgent than ever.
Including: ASJA, known from the Zaungäste Kollektiv productions, among others, who will lead through the evening as a performer - between (self-)staging and radical honesty, between space fantasy and earthly self-doubt.
