Wera Mahne (D)
Flirting can be a wonderful thing. First glances, a slight smile, a step towards each other. What matters is what happens between the lines. It's about body language, in-between sounds, in-between movements. Flirting is the most beautiful, most exciting and most difficult game of all.
Wera Mahne and her team of deaf and hearing performers have made an evening about encounters from material they have collected on the subject of flirting and body language: What do we actually say when we are not saying anything? Sign language and spoken language are artistically intertwined in this production. Together they create spaces of experience that the audience can experience in their own way of perception. This also includes not understanding. Is that really what is meant? Or is it quite different? Only when nothing is taken for granted does communication at eye level become possible.
