“Etude for Ears and Hands” is a durational performative sound-session. You are welcome to come and go at your own pace. While the setting will be intimate, you can be as active or passive as you like – either relax and listen, or join into the making of a tactile soundscape. Drawing on foley techniques and ASMR practices, the session is about transforming everyday items into tools for producing unexpected sounds. 

Tuning into the material world, “Etude for Ears and Hands” reflects on the radical potential of sensory experiences, proposing active engagement with our senses as a form of resistance.

Everyone is welcome to join!

This show is part of Amsterdam BANGS!

Amsterdam BANGS is a politically charged joyride taking place all over Amsterdam during September 19th to 22nd. Get ready for a BANGING theatre and performance festival, organised by anarchists, artists, and activists, to take over not just traditional venues, not just the squats, not just the streets, not just your local Albert Heijn, not just your ING help desk but even your own home. BANGS is non-hierarchically and self-organised: anyone can propose their show, wherever they want, create any workshop or performance, so long as it’s non-commercial and BANGING. Stages are kept behind gates, giving space only to the same old voices. We want Amsterdam to be our stage and hear the voices of many! We wish for soft, loud, ludicrous, experimental performance art and activism to take over the city and shake it up! Have the city become our playground.
