Curatorial context

CLUB WAUW presents 'Stilte' (Silence), an immersive theater experience designed for young children aged 1 to 4 years and their adults, as part of the 2turvenhoog festival. The performance delves into the constant stream of sounds we encounter daily, questioning where silence can be found, if it can be physically grasped, or if it's merely the absence of noise. Two performers, equipped with sensitive ears and a microphone, embark on a quest to uncover the quietude hidden within the cacophony of everyday life. Visitors are invited on a journey through enchanting soundscapes, discovering the subtle nuances in ordinary objects and within themselves. The performance highlights how the softest whispers can lead to profound discoveries and encourages a mindful listening experience. Created with a focus on sensory exploration, 'Stilte' aims to guide its audience through a world of subtle sounds, promoting a sense of calm and curiosity.
