I’m Not Here

a blindfolded performance

An audio dialogue about disappearing

This performance takes place in the dark. We invite the audience to take a journey into longings, fears, loneliness and misunderstandings in this partly recorded and partly live audio experience. Witness struggles for freedom, understanding and existence through conversations that revolve around the statement: “I’m not here.” An expression that transforms and takes on different meanings as the performance unfolds.

A conversation between sound and words

I’m Not Here was created through a dialogue between the artists. Thomas would send Nina a sound to which she responded to in text and so on. The exploration was about finding ways in which to disappear in sound and words.

Blindfold the audience

This sound poem was performed to a blindfolded audience in English.
