Hey Listen
Audio Description Special at Kampnagel
Past dates
10/23/24
6:30 PM
In autumn/winter 2024, four works will premiere at Kampnagel that are connected: They use artistic, integrated audio descriptions. These performances do not work with retrospectively produced descriptions of the stage action for blind and visually impaired audiences, but integrate audio description as a separate aesthetic level from the outset - just like text, costume, music, choreography or stage design. Here, audio description is an artistic element that is not heard through headphones, but throughout the room. There has been a sparkling, innovative development in artistic audio description in Hamburg's independent theatre scene for years. Discover in these four pieces a wide range of creative possibilities for shaping the aesthetic experiences of blind, visually impaired and sighted audiences.
Kick-off:
To kick off the special, Kampnagel invites you to a meal together during which the four groups of artists will talk about their work. Blind and visually impaired guests have priority, the number of seats is limited (registration required at barrierefreiheit@kampnagel.de or by voice message to 01796714489).
