The Broken Promise

Installative Performance by Miriam Jakob
In the frame of Open Spaces - How to get in Touch with…

Recurring migratory birds, the tides, captured sound waves; THE BROKEN PROMISE tells of strolling, listening, collecting and processing. In a laboratory-like process, the participating artists developed different paths and channels of communication that became own narratives. Childhood memories, live reports and fictional narratives get entangled with musical algae, reeds and water basins to form a sounding network, an imagined habitat.
 In the current time when traveling is not as easy to realize, the acoustic live stream bridges the spatial distance by means of sonic simultaneity. Together and in different places in Europe, the protagonists examine invented, built-in or unrealizable approaches to so-called nature, to water and its inhabitants. With THE BROKEN PROMISE, Miriam Jakob is continuing her artistic research into the (im) possible and sometimes contradicting levels of relationship between the species. If we consider humans as a complex community of many different organisms, the question of living together arises in a new way.

Children up to 12 years may visit the show for free accompanied by a parent or a member of the same household, in accordance to Covid-19 regulations. For this, please register before through
