Hookaverse: an audio series in a healing cave

Hookah pipes can evoke visions with their artistic smoke and pleasant aroma. They inspire the revealing of secrets and describing of futures. This gives the act of smoking hookah in groups a special atmosphere. It has evolved into rituals of discovery and exploration. In the fictional world called "The Hookaverse" created as an auditory experience by the 'TURFU Initiative' led by philosopher Makan Fofana with the support of curator Yasemin Keskintepe, hookahs are more than just objects. They play a crucial role in the political, ecological, and economic spheres of their societies.
"The Hookaverse" awaits visitors of the Ornamenta at the healing cave Neubulach, a therapy cave in the depths of the Northern Black Forest. Every 30 minutes, groups of twenty visitors can enter the cave to enjoy the story in the special climate of the mine. The audio play transcends the boundaries between young hookah culture and regional traditions. It can be experienced in French, English, or German.
"The Hookaverse" tells the story of an alien hookah dealer on the planet Zendaya. The pink celestial body is the home of the Space Shisha Club, which attracts curious individuals from across the universe. The audio play was specially developed for the breathing therapy in the healing cave. It aims to stimulate the imagination of listeners participating in the healing treatments. A truly extraordinary experience during ORNAMENTA 2024 in the former mining town of Neubulach in the Northern Black Forest.

This unique listening experience is available on Fridays to Sundays between 11am and 4pm. The ticket can be booked as a complimentary add-on to the daily, weekend, or season ticket of ORNAMENTA 2024 in a separate booking step.
