Ghost hand challenge

Whispers was supposed to have been performed in Leipzig this end of May. Instead, you can explore the theme and language developed in the production by sending us a short filmed improvisation of 2min30 maximum. The exercise is called the ghost hand.

You will find the tutorial and the guidelines here, where all the videos of the haunting presences you might have opened yourselves to will be revealed. You can send us your videos until the 9th August at diffusion.manon@mossoux-bonte.be.

We want to thank all the participants and the Westflügel-team for this initiative.
We look forward to discovering who is hiding behind you.

Until then

While we are waiting to hit the road and come together again, you can find the films by the Company in free access here.
We can't wait to trade our screens for actual encounters.
See you soon.
