‘‘Welcome Cyborg‘‘ announces Blaues Rauschen 2023 and opens the gates for the unique Moon Ribas. With her dance performance, Ribas sensitises us and draws attention to the ever-present movements of the earth. In this way, she also points out the entanglements and relations between people and their respective surroundings, which are particularly important in the Ruhr region with its eternal burdens, mining damage and subsidence.

The Catalan cyborg artist is best known for developing ‘Seismic Sense’, an online seismic sensor that allows her to perceive vibrations of the earth anywhere on the planet in real time. To share her experience, she translates her seismic sense on stage. Together with Quim Girón, a living installation is created in which the planet sets the pace and intensity, interpreted live by Ribas.
