CIRKULIACIJA: GRENSGEVAL (Belgija) | ''MURMUR''

8 November, 15:00 & 18:00 | Daina Cinema

Company: Grensgeval (Belgium)
Title: Murmur
Duration: 50 minutes
Audience: 4+

Description:
Murmur is an acrobatic sound theatre performance that engages the senses and sparks the imagination. Combining movement, sound, and technology, it invites the audience into a playful and immersive sonic world.

At the centre of the performance, an acrobat composes a living landscape of sounds: a purring cat emerges from a pocket, bees buzz through the air, and everyday gestures transform into unexpected audio experiences. Gradually, the space fills with layers of sound, drawing the audience into a shared environment where bodies, objects, and technology intertwine.

Surrounded by the audience, the performer jumps, falls, rolls, and flies in an attempt to compose the world—until suddenly, the audience themselves become part of the composition. Their backpacks begin to vibrate, and the entire space transforms into a dynamic loudspeaker landscape.

Murmur is a poetic and playful exploration of perception, inviting us to imagine what it might feel like to be more than human.
