AT FIRST: Traditional music from Mali meets contemporary European music

Traditional music from Mali meets contemporary European music: AT FIRST is a Malian-German project in which choreographer and dancer Kettly Noël and composer and musician Marc Sinan explore creation myths from West Africa and Europe alongside scientific accounts of the creation of the world. The storytelling will unfold using dance and song, as well as performance and video art. AT FIRST brings together the Djiguiya Orchestra from Bamako, the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, and the international Marc Sinan Company. In the Humboldt Forum, AT FIRST can be experienced in two different ways: During the day, Hall 2 will be open, with a video installation (free entry). In the evening, musicians and dancers from Mali and Germany will perform live in the installation.
