Public case ^(CAN) 9 14 April 2018

Programme

How do we experience music if we can't hear it? Cai Glover overcame a hearing loss to become a professional dancer. When he met choreographer Hélène Blackburn, she saw something new and exciting in his way of expressing himself.

His premise became the spark for a performance that put hearing at the centre. And what better way to do that than to include a classical masterpiece created by a deaf composer.

How is it possible to perceive the monumental grandeur of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony if, like Beethoven, you are hearing impaired? Work 9 embodies that challenge through a bold journey that explores our senses and how we experience, perceive and interpret. A journey where the boundaries of silence are pushed aside and the language of the body takes over.
