Step into a darkened theatre where light, sound, and non-human presence converge.Obscura Fähigkeit is a new interspecies installation by Vincenzo Fiore Marrese, premiering for one day only at Die Höhle_festival in Berlin.The piece unfolds in a light-controlled environment, combining a physically inaccessible object, its projection, and an immersive soundscape to create a layered sensory experience. Made of natural fibres, polypropylene, linden wood, and an original electronic composition, the work invites the audience to experience presence through mediation. This setup introduces a curatorial tension between material reality and perceptual distance, asking the viewer to navigate multiple layers of interpretation. The project traces an unusual encounter — not with an action, but with its absence — and examines how coincidence, imagination, and non-human presence can shape creative response. Drawing on posthumanist thought and speculative methods, Obscura Fähigkeit explores how meaning emerges from missing context, indirect perception, and improbable interspecies connections. What sparked the process was a strange coincidence: an encounter that felt significant but lacked explanation. Rather than closing that gap, the work opens it further, following a method grounded in response rather than appropriation — allowing the non-human gesture to remain intact while activating a space for creative dialogue. Event DetailsOn June 14, 2025, Obscura Fähigkeit will be presented for one day only, running continuously from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The installation takes place at Theater Expedition Metropolis in Kreuzberg, Berlin — a historic venue housed in a former medical facility, adding resonance to the work’s exploration of presence, mediation, and embodied perception. This presentation is part of the second edition of Die Höhle_festival, titled Simulacra. For accessibility options and full festival programming, please visit the theater’s website and the festival’s Instagram page. Additional information will be available closer to the event date, as the festival details are updated. Please note: The installation is experienced inside a dark chamber, which may not be suitable for individuals with claustrophobia. While the sound component offers a multisensory layer, it can also be experienced as a standalone piece, supporting a broader range of access needs.

The Berlin Cathedral combines the neo-Baroque and Renaissance style with a green dome towering, built during William II for the Hohenzollern dynasty and restored after World War II. The interior dome mural, the organ is shocking, and the top overlooks the Spree River and the museum island. It is a symbol of Berlin&#39;s history and architecture.
