Sono Figures Society

Kumulus Morpho – Bådteatret/Ubåden (DK)

18-20 April 2023


Two musicians dive headfirst into the world of musical puppet theater. Their self-built puppets transform their shape throughout the piece –  from body, to instrument, to apparatus – tied together by non-verbal sound worlds from voices, objects and electronics.

The piece creates a peculiar, poetic, searching world.

What forces shape the identity of the continually re-composed puppets? Does the sound have power over the movements we see, or is it the other way around? Who has power over the bodies and the sounds they make?
