COSMOS

Interactive Dance Performance and Installation with Sayaka Kaiwa, Ted Stoffer (Dance) and Hugo Paquete (Music) about disturbances in the fabric of spacetime on our lifes. 

COSMOS uses dance, music and an interactive kinetic architecture of lights to describe what is beyond words. The discovery of gravitation waves in 2016 proved, that time and space is a fabric, which is in motion. How does it feel? How do we move in it? Does it has an impact on our everyday lives? We used to believe that the stars tell our future. Now they present us new unsolved mysteries. 

This video has been recorded at the premiere on Friday, March 23rd 2018 in the Cube at ZKM | Karlsruhe.
