SO MUCH NOISE. SO LITTLE THAT STAYS.

So, what makes you feel alive?

03 — The return
04 — EchoesVoices from Luxembourg

“Swimming in the lake when the water is still too cold.”

“My kids laughing at something I didn't even find funny.”

“Dancing in my kitchen when nobody is watching.”

“Long walks without my phone.”

“The first coffee on a quiet Sunday morning.”

“Live music, standing close to the speakers.”

“Talking to a stranger on the train.”

“Honestly? I'm still trying to find out.”

Answers from passers-by in Luxembourg and from visitors to this page.

06 — The piece

in the air

On stage, one body moves through an artificial landscape, caught somewhere between the desire to connect and the difficulty of truly reaching someone. It wanders, listens, searches, gets overwhelmed, tries again.

What happens when we allow ourselves to really feel?

Can we still be touched, moved, surprised?

in the air is a new performance by Anne-Mareike Hess about the desire to feel something deeply — to be touched, moved and connected in a world that constantly demands our attention.

Premiere at Les Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg.
