Children from Frankfurt, São Paulo, Beirut and La Union in the Philippines have set off in search of clues and explored how we come together beyond national borders. Now they are inviting other children to embark on this adventurous journey with them - to the places where the play was created, where they live and to unknown passages that only those who follow their sense of hearing will find.
“A Room without Walls” is an invitation to listen to each other, to learn about each other and to move together. And to find out what a shared future might look like in a world in which problems can best be solved together.
LIGNA consists of the media and performance artists Ole Frahm, Michael Hüners and Torsten Michaelsen. They are regarded as pioneers of the collective audio walk. With the radio ballet (2002), they developed a style-defining form of intervention. Their works conceptualise the audience as a dispersed collective of producers: Empowerment, the conquest of new spaces of movement, absence and visualisation, whether of historically repressed or geographically distant situations, are recurring motifs.
