Step into a world of trust, touch, and sound. In this deep listening journey, you’ll alternate between being blindfolded — guided through space by a partner’s gentle, consent-based touch — and guiding them yourself. Four evocative pieces of music invite you to sense desires you didn’t know you carried, opening new ways of longing, connection, and presence. A slow, sensual exploration of what we want from others, beyond words.
