DIVE25
On the two long November nights of November 7 & 8, audiences are once again invited on a
collective deep dive into audiovisual live experiences – possible only beneath the dome of a
modern planetarium.
Since the opening of the Sphere in Las Vegas, live performances in interplay with 360° visuals
have firmly entered the public eye. DIVE, launched back in 2019, is a truly pioneering project
worldwide, with its focus on this new form of immersive performance.
Carefully curated, DIVE 25 presents outstanding productions that highlight current trends in the field.
Among them, British musician EMIKA – who previously filled dome venues across Germany with her
celebrated work If We Disappear – will perform excerpts from a brand-new piece for the very
first time, where her music merges with live-generated dome projections into a sensual unity.
The Touchy Toy Collective from Rome whisks the audience away on an extraordinary journey through
the Eternal City, using immersive 3D scans and electronic soundscapes.
In Music in the Shape of a Sphere, New York-based artist Matthew Gantt lets music and image emerge
from one another within Bochum’s planetarium dome, opening the gates to a new kind of
audiovisual experience.
DIVE 25 is a window into the art and entertainment of tomorrow.
