Die neue Renaissance 2.0

With Viktoriia Vitrenko (performance and artistic director)

The increasing presence of digital technologies in our everyday lives is not only changing our perception of the world, but also »our genetic code, challenging us to redefine our role as biological individuals, our identity and our interpersonal communication«–so the thesis of Mixed Sound Personnel.

Combining contemporary music with poetry, scientific texts, video art and generative video mapping, the music theater performance revolves around the transhumanism-influenced question of what defines us as human beings today.

When: Sunday, July 23, 8 pm
Where: St. Maria, Tübinger Str. 36, Stuttgart
