«Collective Rhythms of Pain» immerses itself in the world of chronic pain experiences: What would a world feel like in which states of pain do not have to be hidden for fear of pathologisation?
Together, the project team explores this question through the synergy of artistic work, creative accessibility and lived experience. The focus is on the expressive languages and rhythms of aching bodies, which can be shared and felt and which develop their own artistic and social power. The result is a Relaxed Performance with creative surtitles, inviting the audience to explore their own relationship to pain.
