A one woman dance theatre work with original sound design, poetry & text. A personal & universal exploration of everyday sound & hearing loss.
A dancer wrestles with sound as it misbehaves in ways you wouldn’t expect. Sometimes it engulfs you & other times it’s on the tip of your tongue. It’s flirtatious, it hooks you into stories & sends you on your not so merry way to a corner of a room where it’s quiet, & you’re alone.
Hearing loss is a lonely business. 1 in 5 of us have it, but there’s no telltale sign or clue like glasses perched on the end of your nose to give away the secret hearing loss can sometimes feel like. You have to be bold & tell people about it; otherwise, it’s invisible & kept close. Close & quiet.
How do you know whether a sound is real if you don’t hear the same sound as the person next to you?
Can you believe your own ears?
How do you trust that what you hear is real?
And if you don’t, how do you keep yourself safe?
