The Globus Main Hall is overtaken by the stunning sound and laser show by frequent CTM collaborator Robert Henke, known internationally for his peerless Monolake productions. An exploration of the synchronicity and divergence of light and darkness and a platform for contrast between slow movements and sudden bursts of motion and noise, his work »Lumière II« showcases refined expertise. During the performance, Henke commands powerful lasers to draw repeating shapes, ephemeral objects, and ultra short pulses of light to create an improvised dialogue in which shapes create sonic events and vice versa.

Henke's performance follows an experimental live set by DJ and producer Dasha Rush, whose ties to both Russia and Berlin (she was born in the former and lives in the latter) make her a valuable contribution to a celebration of these two countries' musical connection. Rush's saturnine and subterranean sounds have garnered her international respect.

Foresteppe, who hails from nearby Berdsk, kicks off the evening with one of his tape folk live sets, set against old Siberian diafilms.
