Impossible Space by Johannes Kraas and Rocco Helmchen is an immersive odyssey into the cosmos. A symphonic journey through real and artificial visual worlds, inspired by the spirit of science and discovery. This show interprets “outer space” as more than just the night sky universe. Everything is space: it also unfolds in our everyday lives, within our brains, in a computer algorithm or in the unimaginably small building blocks of reality itself. These themes are artistically reimagined and adapted to create a unique audiovisual experience.

The original music is closely coupled to the visuals and fuses „epic orchestral film score“ with „electronic synth-driven minimalism“, ranging from moving melodic motives to transforming beats and vast, expansive soundscapes. It always aims to guide and emotionally engage, to transform each visual into a vivid and tangible world that might even exist somewhere within the infinite stretches of the universe.

The imagery ranges from fractal-mathematical nebulae to envisioned planets, from strangely (un)familiar AI-generated dimensions to nature on earth, and from abstract depictions of reality back to human shapes.
A vortex of color, light, and sound inviting the audience on a fascinating ride through a profoundly impossible space
