Programme Introduction
The cross-media collaboration between theatre-maker Miu Law and sound artist Sham Chung-tat takes inspiration from the history of cartography and humanity’s enduring quest to document the unseen world.
Working with visually impaired individuals, they conduct in-depth interviews, follow their daily routines, and use their experiences as a starting point to reimagine the relationship between people and space – exploring how sound and tactile sensation can redefine mapmaking, reflecting on our definition of “seeing”, and uncovering a richer, more authentic world in the spaces beyond sight.
