The audio performance for a group of audience members in a public space consists of movement instructions for the body and mind. SILENT responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on public space, closed borders and the inability to travel and the vulnerabilities our bodies endured in that period. Voice choreography created by Tereza Ondrová, Masako Matsushita, Ingvild Isaksen, Petra Hauerová, Sally E. Dean, Fredrik Petrov, Jonathan Ibsen.
How do we as individuals in such a world connect with each other? What does the body remember and what does it forget? Can we create new bonds? Can we experience closeness in such a world? How have our bodies changed in this time? The body in the main role – in the space between loneliness and sharing. Explore a new experience with us!
The performance takes place with headphones, which will be available for everyone to borrow on-site.
Duration: 35 min
