De Sprong (The Leap)- Nora Fischer

Biggest stages

With that question, Nora digs her way around. Via the suffocating pressure of the world's largest stages, to the inner pressure that she had to pull out of her system like a vicious sting to get her throat muscles to relax again. She exposes how her body sabotaged further participation in a world of superlatives, top performances and glorious successes. How she never reasonably fit the mould of the music industry. How she slowly but surely lost the joy with which singing once began. And how that pleasure gave way to a dark inner world full of piercing eyes and sharp judgments.

Story

In the deafening absence of her instrument, Nora desperately searches for an explanation of how something born from so much pleasure can become a source of so much severity. Even though this is a performance without live music, Nora chose to tell her story in a concert hall where she has sung so often. To share with the audience how sad it feels to be unable to fill this room with melodies. And because it feels like the safest place for her to share her extremely personal story with her audience.

'The Leap' is an invitation to assist Nora in an intimate revelation of what we all quietly know: nothing is what it seems.
