SCREAM BOX
Liisa Saaremäel/Kanuti Gildi SAAL
SCREAM BOX is a concert-performance that focuses on tiny vocal cords and big screams. Screams of fangirls? Screams of birth or death? An open mouth is just an image; moist chords do the work. Their slimy dance is small and quite repetitive - together, apart, together, apart. Like kids' games or ferocious experiments between tireless lovers. Through a slippery canal, we descend to the anatomy of crying lies and most open confessions.
There are two performers on stage.
Florian Wahl is an Estonian musician and post-geographic trickster, whose work varies from hyperpop to German schlager.
Liisa Saaremäel is… a fan.
