„Bones“ is an immersive performance by the choreographer Fabrice Mazliah and the curator Claude Jansen. Together with a team of Namibian and German artists, they weave analogue, spiritual and digital media together to form a multisensory experience. Based on research into an ngoma drum looted from Namibia and the 8,000-year-old bones of a shaman kept in Germany, „Bones“ draws attention to the knowledge inherent in bones and how people are connected to their surroundings and their ancestors. Supported by AR (Augmented Reality) goggles and digital sound modulation, the performers create liminal spaces between science and speculation, performance and ritual, mankind and matter. A landscape of bodies and sounds is generated in which the rhythms of heartbeats, drums, birds and trees merge. „Bones“ invites the audience to embark on a sensory journey and opens a space in which past and present, spirituality and technology relate to each other in visible and invisible ways.
