AUSTRIAN PREMIERE

Dance   Touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell: our senses open up windows onto the world. But what happens when one of our senses is missing? How will we experience Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony if we lose our hearing? Hélène Blackburn was inspired to create this compelling ballet by her dancer Cai Glover, who lost his hearing when he was a child. Accompanied by four other dancers, he sets off on a daring journey through the senses.
