uBu LAB

What happens when you give three musicians, three dancers and a costume designer the opportunity to simply do what they always wanted to do? Funded by the Reload scholarship of the Federal Cultural Foundation and the FEB programme of the Music Fund, the seven uBu members explored the thematic complexes of music and power and music and haptics in two research phases. In groups of two to three people, collections of ideas and miniature works of art were created: ballpen-sketches, mood boards, performances with vegetables and electricity, participatory radio plays, photos, film sequences... Music was danced and dance was played. Parts were published in the form of 360° videos in cooperation with the Kölner Philharmonie. Other elements were used as a source of inspiration for cooperation partners or disappeared without a trace.
