LISTENING

Live Art Society (Helsinki)
11 & 12 September Gertrude Street Theatre | €15 / €10

Listening is a live art solo performance that introduces the audience to sound frequencies and means of communication that are easily disregarded in human interaction. In the performance Silva Belghiti communicates through her mother language (sign language) and lets it slide into dance and back. The performance constructs a body conscious space and creates a time where one can fall into the details of different ways of existing.

To ensure the safety of our audience, artists and team, the attendance of the festival in person will only be possible when presenting a Covid-19 certificate that proves the fact of vaccination or recovery from the illness within the past six months and an identity document. Therefore, unfortunately, the festival may only be attended by persons 12 and up this year.

It is recommended for people with mobility impairment to come by car through the gate to the entrance of the theater. Ramp at the entrance floor, which requires assistance. The building has an elevator. Raised thresholds at the doorways.
