(in English with German surtitles)

A constant whisper lies in the city – behind and above the hum of hard drives. Multilingual, stretched between past and future, diasporic.

IT experts from all over the world are drawn to Berlin, where the future is being designed. But what actually happens behind the screens and glass facades? Who works here? Why? Under what conditions? What promises and hopes drive the protagonists?

In The Melancholic Melody of the New Economy, the whisper becomes a narrative: under the direction of musician, composer, and multimedia artist Ariel William Orah, new Berliners who came from South Asia and Southeast Asia and found a job in Berlin with their English and computer skills create their own composition: Their navigation between job requirements, visa regulations, and role expectations, between past and future, between programming and self-determination, form the source code for the performance. At the same time, they provide insights into Berlin’s flagship industry in this musical-documentary theatre, including its transnational, (post-)colonial entanglements.

As a performer and composer, Ariel William Orah, together with Bilawa Respati, created the performance Gaung – Unforeseen Resonance for the Decolonial Frequencies Festival at Ballhaus Naunynstraße in 2021; in the akademie der autodidakten, he led the Scar-City project in 2023. The Melancholic Melody of the New Economy is his directorial debut.

Artists/Collaborators: Mathieu Amadou (Kostümbild), Lenie Brüggenwerth (Bühnenbild), Assina Chara (Regiemitarbeit), Thais Nepomuceno (Lichtdesign), Ariel William Orah (Regie und Konzept), Thu Hoài Trần (Dramaturgie), Camila de Abreu (Produktionsleitung), Camila de Abreu (Produktionsleitung), Val de Licer (Bühnenbild), Ariel William Orah (Autor/in), Eri Dürr, Tyz Juny, Pwincess Pweach, Babyji ., Arie Rids
