In this performance, artists Line Boogaerts, Ditmar Goes and Mei Lan Ng guide the audience through a personal, sensory experience in which weeds and houseplants enter into dialogue. As they draw live on glass and build a layered soundscape, image, sound, scent and touch merge into a single immersive whole.

Plants whisper, vibrate and hiss, while shapes shift through reflections and shadows. Sheets of glass act as transparent in-between spaces where inside and outside, seeing and not-seeing, sound and silence are explored in relation to one another.
In this unique encounter, perception becomes a play of attention: an invitation to look, listen and feel differently.

This performance was part of Zomertank 2025.
