Ohren sehen
Lea Moro
The warm asphalt – the make-up of the city – throbs and vibrates. You feel musty soil, smell coloured smoke and connect with the movement of water molecules in the air. Who is speaking from the branches of the sewers? Why does the air tremble? And who is dancing with us, on bare concrete? “Seeing Ears” is a dance piece for young audiences from the age of 8 and all generations. On a polyphonic audio journey out of the theatre, the audience encounters a series of living beings that speak for themselves.
The event will take place partly outside and in all weathers, please bring appropriate weatherproof clothing.
In the piece, the audience goes on an audio journey into and around the theatre together with the performers. Seeing Ears is a play for sighted, blind and visually impaired people.
Accessibility – Seeing Ears
The performance has an integrated audio description and an auditory guidance system. For the most part, the audience is guided outside the theatre. The route taken is over meadow, earth as well as partly uneven asphalt. Wheelchair accessibility is guaranteed and there will be assistance from escorts as needed. There will be longer phases where you will have to stand. Seating can be provided. In addition, the audience will be asked to close their eyes at certain points and move along a rope. The audience will receive instructions via headphones, which will not be translated into DGS or easy language. Each member of the audience can follow the play independently via headphones, provided that they can move independently of the group.
