Let Us All Sense

“What happens, when we turn out attention back to each other?

In a time where much of our attention is fragmented and directed elsewhere, I am interested in creating spaces where people can gather, slow down, and experience something together.

The title Let Us All Sense is loosely inspired by a phrase I remember hearing as a child, when a Danish priest would invite the congregation with the words “Lad os alle bede” (“Let us all pray”). While the work is not religious, I have remained fascinated by the idea of a group of people being invited into a shared act.

A multisensory experience of sound, colour, taste and texture that invites audiences to reconnect with their senses in troubled times. Let Us All Sense explores the possibility of collective presence through a shared sensory experience.”
