Fürchte dich… nicht!
A musical and theatrical performance
What do we perceive in a church? Many people associate it with the sound of the organ, choral singing or prayer. But how do hearing-impaired people experience such a place? ‘Fürchte dich … nicht’ (‘Fear … not!’) invites you to discover different forms of perception.
The ‘MarienVokalconsort’ explores the space through music, whilst sign language actor Jan Sell does so through poetic movements. The focus is on works by Johann Crüger and Johann Sebastian Bach on the themes of birth, praise, mourning and consolation. This musical and theatrical performance brings together sound, movement and space, encouraging both deaf and hearing people to engage with one another and rethink the boundaries of perception.
Artistic Directors: Marie-Louise Schneider and Steffen Tast
