This spring, join us at WestK FunFest 2025 for Murmur – a mesmerising acrobatic sound theatre performance by acclaimed Belgian circus company Grensgeval and sound arts organisation Aifoon.
Moving around the performance space, pulling tiny speakers from his suit, performer Camiel Corneille conjures a world full of sounds. From a pocket comes a purring cat, a swarm of bees flies through the air, two arms create the sound of cars, a finger squeaks on a window pane. An indistinct noise becomes sound of the sea, the rush of the wind, an intake of breath...
As the acrobatic composer creates his live, moving landscape of loudspeakers, his choreography becomes increasingly daring. Moving from the floor to the air, he jumps, falls, rolls and flies, shaping a magical whirlwind of sounds and noises and making everyone part of a swirling soundscape!
Combining dance, movement, audience interaction and loudspeakers of different shapes and sizes, Murmur is an imaginative sensory performance that will captivate audiences of all ages.
