Vice Versa was part of the programme of this year’s online edition of FITS festival in Sibiu, Romania.
The full video of the show was available from the 12^th to the 21^st June 2020.

Whispers was supposed to have been performed in Leipzig at the end of May 2020. Instead, we suggested that you 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.

The tutorial and the guidelines can be found here, where all the videos of the haunting presences you have opened yourselves to were revealed. 

We want to thank all the participants and the Westflügel-team for this initiative.

While we are waiting to hit the road and come together again in this year 2020, 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.

We felt it was important to find a way to share with you the performances that have been cancelled or postponed due to the global health crisis. 
You can therefore watch the complete videos of The Great He-Goat and Whispers for free on this website until the 15^th April 2020.
Stay safe !
