9.2
— Adult Production
Produced by Cas public and Kopergietery of Gent, hosted by Théâtre de la Vieille 17.
SYNOPSIS
Beethoven composed his Ninth Symphony when he was almost completely deaf. Cai Glover is Deaf and on stage, he chooses to dance without his hearing aid. What do our senses – or absences – say about the way we experience the world? And above all, how do they guide us beyond our differences?
In this physical and visceral re-reading, Beethoven’s Ninth – also revisited – embraces the contemporary vocabulary of Cas Public. 9.2 invites all audiences, young and old, to cross the boundaries of silence, to make absence an anchor point, and to recognize in each body, each journey, a potential language.
