#WIPCOOP 2024OUT LOUD is a musical theater performance based on processes that reflect on vibration as the source of creation and creation. The performance starts from a soundscape with a recognizable rhythm. Each individual member of the crew adds his own sound and embodies this sound together with his fellow players. Through this transformation, the crew plays with the boundaries between the roles of musicians, dancers and performers.
