ZUAM

Step into the uncharted world of ZUAM in this captivating site-specific theatre experience. Alongside three opera singers, a deaf dancer, electronics, and video, you’ll explore the complexity of sign language and the UrSprache: a proto-language examined by the futurist poets and theatre visionary Antonin Artaud and director Peter Brook.

Specially designed for the 21st-century soul constantly overwhelmed by a rapidly changing world: rediscover yourself during this meditative experience by Futurists. ZUAM takes you to the unseen and the unspoken, to the mysterious past and the future world of your own imagination. A journey that leads you directly to your subconscious, allowing you a momentary escape from reality. Futurists founder Jerzy Bielski’s and visual artist Thomas Brand previous discoveries in the non-verbal vocal field inspire the music of ZUAM, along with an eclectic mix of traditional music: from Inuit, Tibetan, Sioux, Zulu, and Balinese cultures to modern electronics. With an essential role for technology such as light tubes, monoliths of speakers, and dynamic LED screens, bringing the tribal patterns and sounds to life.
