On October 19, 2017, OUMUAMUA* is sighted by telescope for the first time. The interstellar object does not come from our solar system and is racing through space at 314,000 km/h. Harvard professor and astrophysicist Avi Loeb can now also no longer rule out extraterrestrial life on the spacecraft. Five years later, OUMUAMUA unexpectedly lands in Schöneweide and actually begins to communicate – with the audience and the musicians of the Marc Sinan Company. It collects all the sounds and stories that people share with it and responds to their movements and touches. A multimedia, intergalactic music performance emerges from completely new, hierarchy-free, sound (dis)orders.
