On Saturday, the old cinema will be electrified. Welle:Erdball will go on a highly experimental broadcast in the almost 100-year-old hall with their current program! But first, unfarben will create a stylistically seamless transition. Meystersinger have made us wait for a long time: host Luci Van Org will take the honor and celebrate polyphony with Roman Shamov on the venerable stage to electronic beats! The musical part of the evening will begin with ingmar. and Two Words in Japanese.

Exclusive and only with Dark Days Berlin: Neopera and Meystersinger will be joined live by the dark a cappella band Stimmgewalt!
