Sonus Silentii (Teil 1 und Teil 2)
Sonus Silentii is an evening of performance art based on the strength and sound of silence. The evening focuses on accessibility for the deaf and includes performances, interactions and an experience that many people know and to which we all have different relationships: Silence. The entire evening will be noiseless, with all communication via hand-written messages. The audience is asked not to make any unnecessary sounds. In the second part of the evening, a DJ will fill the room with a bass performance. Bass as a means of perceiving music in a way other than through the ear.
