"Sound & Word" will be opened with a DJ Set by Anthony Baggette, Editor of Look a Here Magazin with Soul, Jazz and Reggae followed by an Afrobeat DJ Set by Eli Pavel/Oye Records.

"Sound & Word" goes on with a poetry reading by Kwame Write exploring what time means when human attachment to its function is deconstructed. The artist looks at the difference between Western mechanical and African emotional time and makes monologues engaging the concept of physical clock units juxtaposed with time based on African electronics.

Field recordings and dubstep snippets by Betty Stürmer are going to interact with the spoken poetry.

DJ Betty Stürmer aka Betty Party will close up the night with "Call it Soulstep".

Sound & Word ist eine Performance von Kwame Write und Betty Stürmer. Während Kwame Write seine fesselnden Monologe über den Unterschied zwischen afrikanischen und westlichen Zeitmustern am Mikro entfaltet, interagiert Betty Stürmer mit fieldrecordings und dubstepsnippets in den Wortfluss dieses Ausnahmepoeten, der aktuell zwischen Accra und Paris pendelt und exklusiv auf den Kranich einfliegt. Das Event startet mit Jazz, Soul und Reggae, einem DJ Set von Anthony Baggette, und wird weiter supported von der Berliner DJ Eli Pavel mit Afrobeat. DJ Betty Party aka Betty Stürmer beschließt den Abend mit "call it soulstep".
