AGE OPEN DANCE PERFORMANCE FOR EVERYONE AGED 5 AND UP FOR DEAF* AND HEARING AUDIENCES ABOUT WORLDS OF PERCEPTION

How differently can one and the same situation be perceived? We are generally taught that humans have five senses: hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch. But the perception of living beings in this world is far more colorful and diverse.

baff explores this idea in a research laboratory with five experiments. On a wild journey through different worlds of perception, it quickly becomes clear: We do not perceive the world as it is — we perceive it as we are.
