SUMMARY:Sunville
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:«The sea is a wild animal…»\nSurvivors of the sea\, refugee
 s\, exiles come together on an island. They create a new society from scra
 tch without the old rules of origin or power. Is it possible to have a com
 munity built on love? The hosts for this evening are two intergalactic col
 laborators: Sun Ra\, pioneer of Afrofuturism in response to omnipresent ra
 cism\, and Karlheinz Stockhausen\, who sought to flee the constriction of 
 the art world. Both are fascinated by interplanetary vibrations\, read the
  same spiritual book about love in the 1970s and set the cosmos free.\n\n
 «The truth about the planet Earth is a bad truth\,» sings Sun RA in 1972
 . He selects music and\, with a dose of irony\, space as a place of refuge
 . Afrofuturism is about «resistance through imagination» (Adyam Tesfamar
 iam). This performance follows this trail and seeks out new answers. Congo
 lese author Fiston Mwanza Mujila takes us into the «Second World\,» a pl
 ace where African cosmologies\, Black science-fiction and biting satire co
 llide. Sometimes the only solution is to break out into laughter before we
  can continue dreaming.\n\nSofia Jernberg’s music is a place of resonanc
 e and contradiction: Contemporary composition meets spiritual jazz\, impro
 visation is juxtaposed with griot tradition. Both – Jernberg and Mujila 
 – are on the stage as singer and storyteller. Stephanie Thiersch’s cho
 reography turns the space into a fluid body where language\, sound and mov
 ement vibrate in permanent tension.\n\nWhat is true and what is fiction? W
 hat is past and what is future? Sunville dives into an uncertain underwate
 r world of the imagination\, asking the seemingly simple question: How do 
 we want to live?
