"The Ear Wants to Hear" is an interactive exhibition from the "Sound Sculptures" project (Artistic Research Lab) that explores the phenomenon of sound through artistic research. It sharpens your perception in a playful way, no matter your age. The "Plapalapap" installation introduces you to abstract sound. Large ear sculptures pick up your voice and transform it as soon as you play with the floor sensors—fragmenting, distorting, and reassembling it. This allows you to experience firsthand just how much impact your own movements have. The "Sound Bananas" installation combines balance with sound perception. By setting the swinging bananas in motion, you play musical scales. As you explore your motor skills, a collective concert emerges through your interaction with others. The "Balance Board" installation helps you find your center of balance. Sounds guide you as you maintain an upright posture. In this way, your body's balance becomes an instrument itself.

Please note: Mornings from Wednesday to Friday are reserved for school classes and groups. You can expect to see them more often at the festival during these times. However, the festival is still open to everyone on these days. Schools and groups must register in advance by email or book a festival visit using the booking tool.
