Silly Symphonies (Smells Like Circus)

A shot sounds  

A bird falls  

Three figures provide invisible feathers of soft dying sound  

In Silly Symphonies, three performers depict through sound a world where, as an audience, you become a witness to a succession of unforeseen endings: from crashing cars to shot birds, from sinking fishermen to crashing paratroopers.   

Are they complicit in the endless ending or do they provide sound to what would otherwise pass by unnoticed?  

Which fantasies are shot to shreds, which expand slowly? Which imaginations whisper softly and reassuringly once all sound is gone?   

Using the auditory medium of bruitage, Marius Lefever, Jef Van der Burght & Senne Vanderschelden tackle these questions in a playful, sometimes almost clownish way, without shying away from the darker corners of humanity.
