Parte de Nós is a site-responsive headphone performance held at the Humboldt Forum’s Mechanical Arena foyer in Berlin. Created by the German-Brazilian duo Po:era—Lucas Lacerda and Daniel Weyand—the event integrates documentary narratives, speculative fiction, and live performance. Participants wear wireless headphones and are guided through the museum’s spaces, following a personal narrative entwined with collective memory about the mythical ancestral bird Nô. The story, recounted by a grandson reflecting on his grandmother, explores themes of ancestry, belonging, and interconnectedness beyond scientific explanation, proposing a circular understanding of time where past, present, and future coexist.
The performance is deeply shaped by the site’s history—the reconstructed Berliner Schloss—and invites audiences to engage with the contradictions and memories associated with this prominent cultural landmark. Po:era’s approach combines immersive sound art, theatrical storytelling, and interactive urban practice, drawing on local research and community collaboration to create a layered experience that bridges individual and shared histories. The event exemplifies contemporary walking art with its fusion of place, memory, and performative dialogue.
