About the play

The creators ask where a voice begins: what shapes it, how it sounds alone, in pairs, or inside a group. While developing the piece, actors discovered the strength and beauty of their voices, blending them with instruments and body movement.

The premiere took place on 7 December 2019. As a multimedia theatre action, the show fills the stage with diverse voices and bodies, inviting the audience to listen and resonate.
