About the production
Wild and soft, spherical and angular, shimmering and fluid, solid and fluttering, heavy and floating – three performers play with objects and bodies, dance and drum, stamp and jump, knock and ring. The hard-of-hearing performer Geli Strahl, dancer Moonjoo Kim and percussionist Rie Watanabe explore rhythms, vibrations and oscillations that flow through the body, inviting the audience to experience everything with all their senses – without any spoken language. A journey of discovery through sound waves, body waves and wow moments for a Deaf and hearing audience – calm and fast-paced, clear and chaotic, precise and random, humorous, quirky, playful, wild – BÄÄÄM.
