Unforeseen endings

A shot sounds
A bird falls
Three figures provide invisible feathers of a soft fading sound.

In Silly Symphonies, the players depict through sound a world where you as an audience witness a succession of unforeseen endings: from crashing cars to shot birds, from sinking fishermen to swirling paratroopers. 

Are they complicit in ending endlessly or do they provide sound for what would otherwise pass unnoticed?

Which imagination is shattered, which is slowly fading? Which whispers softly and reassuringly when all the sound disappears? 

Using the auditory medium of bruitage, Marius Lefever, Jef Van der Burght and Senne Vanderschelden tackle these questions in a playful, sometimes almost clownish way, without avoiding the darker corners of humanity.
