SONiC iSLAND is an interdisciplinary series of events that brings electronic music, audiovisual performance and performative experiments to the Theater an der Ruhr. The aim is to create a temporary experiential space that combines electronic club culture, digital art and theatrical context - an archipelago on the outskirts of the city, a luminous resonating body between rhythm and reflection.

BORGBORG & Monita Wagma DJ sets

With a great passion for abstract soundscapes, solid techno and deconstructed beats, BORGBORG's work has evolved into a powerful, introspective yet timeless sound. Moving between ambient, raw textures and driving peak-time rhythms, their sets are designed to create an intense and multi-faceted listening experience. As part of the duo Fractal Void, she combines electronic and classical compositions to create artificial soundscapes with cinematic, futuristic elements. The debut EP Elemental Collection was recently released on the Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound label. In addition to her performances and productions, BORGBORG is also a co-founder of the art organisation About Repetition - a group of artists exploring the concept of repetition through collaborative projects across Europe.

Monita Wagma is a DJ and radio producer who can be heard regularly with her Cup of Tea programme on 674.FM/Cologne and Maenad Transmission at Studio Néau/Meakusma in Eupen (Belgium). From the club context to that of a museum, we can listen to her sets. As part of the promotion of democracy, she commutes between various cities in the Rhine-Ruhr area and also attends the Master's programme in Popular Music at Folkwang University.
