Sinopse

In many hands is an immersive work, leading the audience deep into a tactile and multi-sensory world of testing, touching, listening and sniffing. Without words, the audience handle materials and immerse themselves in corporeal phenomena. In many hands is an exploration of vibrant physicality, a celebration of sensory intelligence, and a subtle social experiment that brings strangers into unspoken communication. If we learn-by-doing, then what’s learned here is a sensitization of nerves, a tuning of attention, and a curiosity for each other. It is part laboratory, part expedition, part meditation - as it unfolds, visitors take their time to engage and explore as they wish, following their noses and curiosities. — Kate McIntosh

The performance is interactive, with light physical contact between the audience.

The performance also includes a 20-minute blackout (period of total darkness).

Author's bio text

Kate McIntosh (1974), originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand, is a Brussels-based artist who practices across the boundaries of performance, theatre, video and installation. Her works often focus on the physicality of both performer and audience, the manipulation of objects and materials, and the development of direct relations with and between audience members. Kate's practice is guided by her ongoing fascination with the misuse of objects, playfulness with the public, a love of theatrical images and unruly humour. Kate is also a founding member of SPIN, a practice-centred production and research platform in Brussels.
