3hd 2024 pres. Underworld

The scientific concept of parallax refers to the apparent shift in the position of an object when viewed from different vantage points. Metaphorically, it can represent a psychological, philosophical, or artistic change in the understanding of a situation, idea, or truth, depending on one’s perspective. The title of 3hd’s “Underworld” performance and concert event at silent green’s Betonhalle suggests such multiplicity, with its subterranean prefix representing just one of many possible worlds and interpretations.

The existence of an underworld assumes an overworld, and many more worlds that reflect each other in an infinite mirror of duplicate glass surfaces that go on forever. This effect of light bouncing back and forth, at equal yet opposite angles, creates the illusion of limitless space and reveals deeper insights into the boundless possibilities of parallax.

As its own modification to the repurposed Wedding crematorium complex, the below-ground concrete hall hosts a monumental night of music and live performance, ritual and ceremony, that delves into the infinite possibilities, potentialities, and planes of existence influencing our every day.
