Der Ozean is a multisensory dance and music performance for Deaf and hearing adults, with and without babies. The performance immerses itself in the complex and ambivalent experiences of parenthood – a web of contradictions between care, exhaustion, and tenderness. Inspired by the image of the ocean – a symbol of vastness, change, and protection, of an imagined, inexhaustible maternal source, but also of an open, connecting body of water – the piece approaches the themes of parenthood, care, and dependency from different perspectives. In close interplay of voice, choreography, vibrations, taste, and sign language, a multilayered, collectively perceptible composition emerges, created by Genoël von Lilienstern and La Cage.
