Zea Mays in Bochum: When Corn Tells Its Story – Multisensory, Political, Poetic
On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the KMZ Collective transforms the Theaterrevier (Zeche Eins) in Bochum into a powerful event experience: The multimedia performance Zea Mays gives voice to the corn plant – bridging mythical origins, colonial history, agricultural industry, and our present. In 75 intense minutes, clever dramaturgy meets live sound, camera work, object theater, and the aroma of freshly prepared popcorn.
Multimedia Performance with Depth: Live Sound, Object Theater, Popcorn Aromas
The stage becomes a sensual research space. Microscopes and cameras magnify details, live music guides the emotions, while the scents of popcorn and tortillas make the event atmosphere tangible. This creates an immersive audience mood that combines knowledge, curiosity, and enjoyment.
From Maya Myth to Monsanto: A Panorama of Global Entanglements
With precise event planning and strong target audience engagement, the KMZ Collective interweaves biographies and facts: from the creation myth of the Maya through colonization to debates on genetically modified corn. Zea Mays illuminates supply chains, food systems, and ecological responsibility – and calls for action: Eat local, act global.
