Lawaai means hawaai

Every space coexists with another space inside of it, one you become aware of only when paying attention to the acoustic phenomena. They are sometimes superposing themselves in a quiet and harmonic way. But when these spaces are in conflict, sound becomes noise, a source of tension, inducing fear, stress, fatigue, ... fascinating and hypnotizing. Noise has an influence on the objects in that space and on the behaviour of it's inhabitants.
In 'Lawaai Means Hawaai', pollution, echo, absorption, reflection and background become key figures in the writing process, not in a metaphorical or imitative way. Noise is a concept that reaches far beyond acoustics. It has different definitions in acoustics, communication science and computing. In this work, we didn't choose one definition, but worked at the same time of different levels and qualities, in order to create constraints, uneasiness, doubts and tireness for the dancers themselves. What you will see are distant echoes and consequences of such confusing states; in a dance which resonates in meanings and matters.
