A drawing of an ear with lots of squiggly lines around it.

What colour is a sound? And what shape? Entering a world in which the eyes cannot see lets us listen inside ourselves – guided by mezzo-soprano Katharina Ruckgaber and the Munich-based ensemble der/gelbe/klang.

Eyesight is one of our most important senses. But what happens when we let our hearing take over?

It is pitch black. Nothing for the eyes to see. A voice emerges from the darkness, wends its way through the hall, and is suddenly very near. A string vibrates, there is a crackling sound from the side. And where is that faint hum coming from?

Sounds emerge, intertwine, ebb away and resurface elsewhere. Proximity and distance dissolve, as the ear perceives space in a whole new way.

An evening of music that gives our eyes a break and lets our ears take the lead.
