ritual: Steloolive & Smoked Salt I the cosmos

Vor dem Konzert findet ein gemeinsamer Hör-Spaziergang statt. Treffpunkt: 19h vor dem JAKI (Venloer Straße 40, 50672 Köln)

This performance rethinks ritual - not as a fixed form, but as a social act of listening. Sound is not consumed here, but observed together. The audience is part of a silent convention: pay attention, perceive, tune in. Observation becomes connection, presence becomes the actual event.

Electronic music, experimental theater and Ghanaian folklore merge into an open sound space that moves between structure and improvisation. Field recordings from Accra's public transportation system form the pulsating foundation - as a metaphor for inner and outer movement at the same time: streams of thought, layers of noise, bodies in transit. Myths emerge, disintegrate into noise, return rhythmically. Listening is participation.

ritual is a concert series - curated by Sophie Emilie Beha - which takes place from June to August on the 1st day of each month in various locations around the Stadtgarten, further information via the ritual homepage.
