Sensing Science

Gala obscura combines the festive glamour of a classical gala with the dark, the hidden, the unlit—that space where artistic research first takes shape: in experimentation, in doubt, in not knowing. For one evening at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama, the stage opens to works that begin beyond the finished product and make the process itself visible.
Students and researchers from the Dr. sc. mus. doctoral program present excerpts, experimental setups, and interim results of their artistic research projects—spanning music, performance, theater, and advanced sound art—in a multimedia revue. Gala obscura is not a showcase in the conventional sense, but rather an invitation to listen to and observe the unknown: What emerges when research is not explained but experienced?
An evening in the twilight zone between representation and research, between stage and laboratory.

Participants: Yuri Akbalkan, Nina Deuse, Benjamin Helmer, Patrick Huss, Laura Jakschas, Matias Frederik Josefson, Elisabeth Anna Maria Kaiser, Dirk Klawitter, Dorothea Koch, Mathias Krüger, Genoël von Lilienstern, Rami Olsen, Benjamin Sprick, Dominic Wills, Iva Zurbo, and many more.
