Let this Darkness be a Bell Tower

We have awarded this year's commission to an artist who always inscribes a transcultural social component into his music. In close connection with the respective space and interlinked with other art forms, Emmanuel Witzthum creates a retreat in the middle of the city that can be entered at any time in his latest work, which lasts from sunset to sunrise. A space in which "a mood of compassion, charity and hope is kindled and fostered through music". The setting is an invitation to the audience to immerse themselves in something that creates healing harmonies on different levels of consciousness and sensation. "As an artist," says Witzthum, "I think it's crucial to create a space that can open people's hearts and minds to the potential of being less polarized and more open to each other." Here you can discover the beauty of your own thoughts.

The room is accessible from 18:40 to 7:44 (sunset to sunrise)
