louder is a massive orchestra-piece for wire, kanoi & megaphones.

A telling orchestra is rigged on a rusty wire and a tidal wave of pictures and sounds
is thrown at us by a machine so fragile that it is in constant danger of short-circuiting.
Among a pile of megaphones that hurl sound in all directions, and a knot of wires so
stretched that they may break at any moment, we glimpse people. People who are trying
to interact with this landscape, tugging at strings that are everywhere in the room.
The strings hanging from the ceiling form the stage for a mass of figures. A mechanical
puppet play takes place here - over the heads of the human figures. louder is a storytelling
orchestra that hangs by a rusty wire and narrates a multitude of tales through sound and images.
Tales from a distant past, tales from our time, about wars, river, the theatre, the nation,
music, nature, technology, the journey and about exile. In the midst of this throng,
we find a heart of darkness - a long, black barge on the open sea, radiating coldness and stories.
