The piece THE YELLOW BOAT consists of five acts that explore the five human senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. In the first act, “TOUCH” (approx. 30–40 min.), we focus on the sense of touch.
​
What attracts us to explore the five human sensory experiences?
Our senses are the channels through which we perceive the world — the filters through which external information enters and our own impulses reach the outside world. They are the “radar” for our impact and the impact of others. Where do our senses take us? What dynamics are they tuned to from an evolutionary point of view? What have they developed for?
Dancers Sinja J. Völl and Annekatrin Kiesel, together with voice artist Daniela Marcozzi, move through tactile metaphors in a dynamic, poetic way. Accompanied by live music, the piece swings in and out of our skin and transforms the gallery space of Gallery CLB Berlin into a place of gentle touches, violent collisions, lively encounters, and surprising insights.
