"Poetic gestures are currently more requested than ever. Kassandra Wedel and Rosalie Wanka are responding to the media overload with a performative poem: Visual Vibrations. In view of the multitude of buzzwords we daily get bombarded with, the two artists offer an inspiring and beautiful answer, in which sign language and contemporary dance merge in a virtuosic way. [...] Kassandra Wedel and Rosalie Wanka develop a language adapted to the sign multiplication of our time: poetic, humorous and uplifting."
Jury of Festival RODEO meets FREISCHWIMMER, October 2022
Rosalie Wanka (deafless) and Kassandra Wedel (deaf) use a mix of hip hop, poetry slam and German sign language in their performance, underscored by the beat of the group Uncertain Proportions.
This performance is conceived as a gestual poem, referring to recurrent/current topics (i.e. corona virus, fake news, conspiracy theories...) – it is a shamanic ritual, a digestion in motion of all the words we get bombarded with every day by media.
