OKSUS in the Ethnological Museum

Since September 22, 2021, Marc Sinan’s chamber music suite OKSUS can be experienced in a version specially developed for the Humboldt Forum in the Hörraum of the new permanent exhibition of the Ethnological Museum and Museum of Asian Art at the Humboldt Forum Berlin.

The Hörraum in the exhibition "Klänge der Welt" aims to make it possible to experience a wide variety of cultures acoustically. With the help of the special technical equipment of the Hörraum, artists will stage various forms of music and types of performance as a three-dimensional listening experience. In this way, different artistic positions and documentary formats are created. The starting point for this is the Ethnological Museum's extensive ethnomusicological collections. More information about OKSUS.

MANİFEST(O) – our contribution to the theater project: Kein Schlussstrich!

From October 21 to November 7, 2021, artistic and civil society interventions on the NSU complex will take place within the framework of Kein Schlussstrich! With the oratorio MANİFEST(O) we will also make a contribution to this.

The project aims to bring the perspectives of the victims' families and (post-)migrant communities into public focus and to create spaces for conversation about structural and everyday racism in our society. With the polytopic oratorio MANİFEST(O), we unite seven individual performances performed at key locations of the acts of the so-called NSU into a full-length work. MANİFEST(O) emerges from individual voices as a cross-border oratorio with orchestra, choirs and soloists that connects history and places. Negative energies of the crimes are taken up, basic questions of retribution and new beginnings are discussed and processed in an ethical utopia. More information about the decentralized theater project Kein Schlussstrich is now available at www.kein-schlussstrich.de.

MSC receives basic fund New Music

The Senate of Culture supports MSC with the 2022 base grant.

Support is given to Berlin music ensembles that are predominantly active in the field of new music (contemporary music, classical modernism or sound art) and plan and realize new music projects on their own responsibility. We are very happy about this great recognition, with which we see our continuous engagement with transmedial productions in the independent scene honored.

It’s a scream – 100 days of cultural lockdown!

Since November 2, all theaters, museums, concert halls and venues have been in lockdown. But especially in this crisis situation we realize how much we need art and culture – for self-assurance, for questioning, for freedom!

The cultural emergency we are currently experiencing must be brought to an end as soon as possible. People working in the arts and culture need a secure perspective and more support in the current situation. Even the Marc Sinan Company has not performed at any events for months and the venues are empty. We also feel this (inner) emptiness. The only ray of hope we have is that we will be back for our audience in April with our transmedia installation ENDLESS PELASURES - SURVIVAL at SPREEHALLE Berlin.
