Practical Information — The Sound of Things

1. About the Performance

Is the performance really in complete darkness?

Darkness is sought while maintaining the required safety lighting. Black eye masks are available to the audience; their use is optional.
However, soft lighting transitions appear between scenes to accompany the changes in atmosphere.


Is it a concert or a performance?

It’s both: a narrative concert and a sound performance.

The piano is played live. The radio interludes are recorded and blend with the music and soundscapes to create a genuine musical dramaturgy.

2. Practical Information

From what age can you attend the performance?

The performance is suitable for audiences aged 10 and above.
Younger children may attend, but certain moments (intense sounds and dark sequences) could be a little overwhelming.


Is it recommended to arrive early?

Yes. The auditorium is darkened from the start of the performance, while maintaining the required safety lighting.
To preserve the experience for everyone, late entry is not permitted once the show has begun.
We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.


Is it possible to leave the auditorium during the performance?

Yes. You may leave the auditorium at any time if necessary. When circumstances allow, please use the light interludes to make moving around easier and preserve the listening experience for others.


Is the performance language-based or multilingual?

The performance is mainly sound- and music-based. There is no continuous spoken narrative, but the radio interludes contain recorded speech in French. The music and soundscapes can be enjoyed without understanding every word.


Do I need to book my ticket in advance?

Reservations are not yet open. Booking arrangements and the opening date will be announced on this website.


Is it free seating?

In most venues, seating is unassigned, but the staff may guide audience members to ensure an even distribution within the sound space.
