as part of The Argonause

18.05. – 18.05.2026

Travel signifies adventure, the desire for the unknown, a longing for the world. At the same time, we are acutely aware of the destructive effects of mass tourism on climate and environment. We are dedicating a monthly programming series in different formats to this topic: The FFT, together with Chez Company, is embarking on an excursion that invites you to a simultaneous exploration of the beginnings of tourism as well as climate-neutral opportunities that symbolise a new, responsible desire to travel.

Is it not necessary to change our fundamental perspective? What is the sound of water – a digital appointment on and especially in the Rhine. Is the Rhine able to compose? Can water generate sound? What sounds of blue and grey and life for our Argonause epic? Sound designer Fabian Kühlein goes to the Rhine’s wellspring and records the sound of the water using an underwater microphone. We talk about this as well as about the different qualities of Rhine water. Experts wanted!
