“Ons sintuiglike bewussyn het die punt bereik waar ons, sonder twyfel, teater benodig wat ons harte en ons nerwe ontwaak” – Antonin Artaud. Sense(Less) is ‘n meelewende, multisensoriese teaterervaring wat poog om die liggaam wakker te maak en met die sintuie te kommunikeer. Hierdie produksie is geïnspireer deur Sjamaanse beswymingsrituele en ‘n reis deur die wêreld van die lewendes na die ryk van die dooies. Sense(Less) verskaf aan gehore ‘n intieme sensoriese ervaring in ‘n post-COVID-wêreld waarin ware menslike kontak iets is waarna ons smag.

“Our sensibility has reached the point where we surely need theatre that wakes us up, heart and nerves” – Antonin Artaud. Sense(Less) is an immersive, multisensory theatrical experience attempting to wake up and communicate with the body and its senses. Inspired by Shamanic trance rituals and the journey from the land of the living to the realm of the dead, Sense(Less) provides a visceral, intimate experience for audiences in a post-COVID world where true human connection is something we crave.
