Submerged in a forest of speakers, audiences are invited to enter an intimate sonic environment where the act of listening becomes both shared and estranged. π˜›π˜π˜Œ π˜˜π˜œπ˜π˜Œπ˜›π˜Œπ˜™ π˜ π˜–π˜œ π˜‰π˜Œπ˜Šπ˜–π˜”π˜Œ is an electro-acoustic sound performance that unfolds through first, second, and third-person perspectives of auditory perception – immersing listeners in the psychological terrain of how others hear.
Developed in consultation with musicians experiencing symptoms of hearing conditions, this work encourages deep, embodied listening. Can we truly trust our own senses? What is the difference between hearing and listening? And how might hearing through another’s ears attune us more acutely to the world around us?
