AFROECLIPSE - An Afrofuturist Journey in Two Acts

"AFROECLIPSE - An Afrofuturist Journey in Two Acts”.

A multi day interdisciplinary festival fusing music, performance, visual art, and technology into an Afrofuturist exploration.

Inspired by the solar eclipse of August 12, 2026, the festival develops a two-act narrative that unfolds over several evenings; a sonic and theatrical journey through the past, present, and future of Afro-diasporic culture.

In this process, MAAYA Berlin transforms into a stage of transition: a space between light and darkness, myth and machine, spirituality and technology.

Each evening becomes part of a continuous narrative held together by a narrator. Music, light, dance, and projection merge into a modern club-theater piece that consciously breaks away from traditional concert formats, turning the audience into participants in an immersive ritual.

Act 1 was hosted on August 12, coinciding with the Solar Eclipse, focusing fully on Berlin based artists.

Act 2 will be hosted on October 10 & 11, combining a forward thinking, balanced line up showcasing artists from across the Afro-diasporic world, creating a space for expression and exchange.
