GMEA, Albi

Curious about how deaf and hard-of-hearing people listen/hear, Félix Blume wishes to engage in dialogue with them to understand and transcribe what they perceive. While sound is often limited to what is perceptible by the eardrum within a certain range of audible frequencies, he aims with this project to expand this notion to the vibrations that can be perceived with the entire body, to sounds reconstructed by sight, to dreamed and imagined sounds...

The notion of listening here goes beyond the auditory. It is primarily a story of sharing: listening to understand the other, to put oneself in their place, and to discover their relationship with the world. The aim is to identify which sounds/vibrations are pleasant and how this sensation can be shared with a hearing person. Several group work sessions are planned.
