NOISE

We live in a time when everything seems to be happening at once. The climate is changing. Fascism is on the rise. Western countries are complicit in a genocide. Your fruit and vegetables are full of PFAS. Your primal instinct kicks in. LION! DANGER! FIGHT! FLEE! But it no longer knows what to respond to. Your amygdala (neurons that play a special role in processing stimuli and regulating fear) becomes overstimulated. You end up stranded in panic-limbo.

In 'NOISE', Club Gewalt asks: How do you retune your senses to a world that is getting louder and heavier? Can we accept that systems are collapsing without giving up our anger at injustice? Can we heal ourselves not just by naming the crises, but by feeling them deeply? Can we finally complete our stress cycles this way, allowing us to better navigate a world in flames? Can we fall in love with being human again? Is this the moment to look for God?

What begins as a seminar about overcoming an existential crisis slowly tips into a liberating storm of noise. An analogue synthesiser on wheels. A musical number about your baby falling off the sofa. Far too much language. Far too much feeling. Far too little hope. And then: hope. On the eve of the appocalypse, Club Gewalt sings, screams and prays its way through every stage, searching for a different turn. Because what if, in the midst of the noise, we learn to listen to something new?
