SARABANDA

what connects Hurricane Lothar, which ravaged Europe in december 1999, with the Book of Job, ancient woods, the immortal    jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii, the ancient Baltic proto-language, and raw pork? the narrow line between eternity and transience is barely perceptable: someone’s end becomes someone else’s beginning. every evening we fall asleep, hoping, almost by habit, to wake up again in the morning – the end file seems to exist, but only in snooze mode. while we are planning our everyday lives, the processes of nature never stop: decay and birth unfold in parallel.


each of us cautiously tames the sense of transience. this uneasy process happens as hints scatter at our feet in the flow of         everyday life. at the same time, we seem to search for a recipe for eternity – but perhaps we are already eternal?

Sarabanda is a lecture of organised sound and image, where science interweaves with imagined misreadings, myths, and       hallucinations. it is like an unintentional detachment from reality, as if drifting into daydreams at the worst possible moment.
