And My Heart Almost Stood Still

A physical-sonic theatre piece inspired by a letter that the famous deaf-blind writer and intellectual Helen Keller sent to the New York Symphony Orchestra in 1924, describing how she 'listened' to their performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony by simply closing the membrane of touch the radio and feel the vibrations.

The performer, as a person without limitations, limits himself in various physical ways and offers us a close-up look into his body as he tunes himself into hypersensitivity and desperately searches for an alternative language to communicate with, a nonverbal, sensory communication in which even the subtlest sensations can be full of pain, beauty, or joy.
