Sounding Rainforest
Journey into a wonderful land of sounds Using the words “rain“ and “forest“ as inspiration, the show begins with a sound picture of the water cycle. From splashing rain and rushing water (crackle-paper, rainmaker with Piezzo-microphone) over the thick leaves trickle drops (Mouth-pops and drops) through the babbling streams and rivers (bubble-bottle with microphone), until the sea (Wave-Drum) where the water is evaporated by the sun (sun-gong) and is taken by the wind (flute) in the form of clouds, back to the Rainforest again. Then we meet the inhabitants of the forest. A jungle-piano of 10 children performs an animal-sound symphony. At the same time they learn about the function of animal sounds: marking territory, courtship, threatening, orientation in the dark... They also learn about the type of animals who live in the rainforest and in which area of the forest they live. Michael Bradke plays from his large collection of surprising rainforest-sound-tools and animal sounds and the audience takes part as well. Many different bird-whistles circle through the room, everyone joins the troupe of apes or the mosquito swarm, let creak-boxes and crackle-paper sound...., a rousing and furious finale in which everyone takes part! |
