WE COSMOS

Artistic research & community performance

2021

How do people and their surroundings influence each other?
This question is the starting point of the artistic-scientific project WE_COSMOS. Under the eponymous title WE_COSMOS, performers and scientists Michael Lazar and Fabian want to encourage other people to join them on an exciting journey to investigate and, above all, feel the interaction between human bodies and geophysical vibrations! We are surrounded by vibrations in urban spaces, but we are not usually aware of them. But these vibrations influence us, and even more excitingly: we influence them!
Art is used here as a translator: Through sound installations and dance performances make these vibrations perceptible and the atmosphere tangible. As part of two workshops, three performative walks and a performance week in Essen in September 2021, urban space interventions and performative events, short workshops, digital lectures and community dance actions will take place in the Altenessen district. The aim is to create an approach to our environment and urban space that enables us to perceive and feel the atmosphere that always surrounds us but is often dissociated in everyday life.
