A multimedia exploration of lost connections
By Angelika Waniek, Nashilongweshipwe Mushaandja, Frederike Moormann
Live between Windhoek and Stuttgart

Satellites fly. Transmitting masts. Horns call. This evening opens up a transcultural dialog between Namibia and Germany - about stories of telecommunications.
The universe. Radio links. Invocation.
"And if we don't take care to preserve these narratives, we won't know what happened. We won't have recordings of her voice to tell us about it. What times were like in colonial Namibia, in apartheid Namibia. When they die, they go with their stories, with their narratives." (Tuli Mekondjo)

Music, stories on stage and an audio walk in the urban space draw connections - from techniques of communication with ancestors to the involvement of major German companies in the genocide in Namibia from 1904 to 1908 and current satellite technology.

The double premiere SPACE HAS BECOME A CROWDED PLACE takes place simultaneously in Namibia and Germany. Internet and radio technology create a connection between the two performance venues. Let's get moving. From Windhoek (Namibia) to Stuttgart (Germany) and back.
