In “Claritas. Obscuritas” we dedicate ourselves to chronobiology and daylight research. The multidisciplinary performance deals with “light” and its effects on humans.

The contemporary ensemble “Nikel” will perform the world premiere of a one-hour interdisciplinary work by the well-known Austrian composer Klaus Lang and the light artist Sabine Maier. In collaboration with the well-known daylight researcher and chronobiologist Prof. em. Anna Wirz-Justice and the Centre for Chronobiology in Basel, we are integrating exciting scientific intermezzi into the performance. Science can be experienced through art and vice versa – an immersive, exciting and innovative performance is guaranteed.
