Thanks to a partnership with the Sinfonietta de Lausanne, six vibration vests are available for this performance. The vests convert music and sounds into perceptible vibrations. Built-in vibrotactile modules respond to different frequencies and intensities, allowing the rhythm, bass and certain sound structures to be felt physically. This creates a tactile musical experience. The vests are primarily intended for deaf and hard-of-hearing people and can be reserved free of charge.
