Beat the Silence

in German language

After their premiere in 2023 at the Wiener Konzerthaus and stops at the Porgy & Bess, Sargfabrik, WUK and the Wiener Kultursommer, Beat the Silence will bring their program to the Theater Phönix.

Austrian singer-songwriter Veronika Morscher will kick things off with her warm voice, telling touching stories from her album Blooming that heal and encourage. Her songs are accompanied by sign language poetry and dance by Anja Tanzende Hände, Lucia Rosenfeld and Sonja Hanl.

Afterwards, the two-time beatbox world champion crew M.O.M will impress with a mixture of dance music and a good dose of humor. They create a wide variety of soundscapes, be it techno, drum'n'bass or Latin - using only their mouths.

After their premiere at Beat the Silence 2024 at the WUK, IMANI Drumshow returns with their energetic performance. Combining drums, percussion and lighting effects, they make the stage shake - for beats that engage the whole body.

This event is aimed at hearing, hard of hearing and deaf people alike and is designed to be acoustically accessible. Beforehand, the interactive Hands Up exhibition shows how life works without hearing.
