WITH AND WITHOUT WORDS

Language, writing, signs, gestures, mimicry, song, music, painting, dance—all this and much more is communication. In our hands-on exhibition, you’ll discover all sorts of ways to communicate and understand other people. But once the code has been cracked, does that mean the information has actually been understood? It quickly becomes clear that without attentiveness and respect, understanding is impossible. Expand your communication skills and experiment with pantomime, Braille, and Sign Language! In the Jam Club, rhythm and color become a shared language, communication towers invite you to climb to lofty heights, and you’ll have to use your whole body if you want to find out how to make contact with an invisible partner. Messages go whizzing through pneumatic tubes, word salads are being dished up, bloopers meet tongue twisters, and news reports are produced in the ZOOM NEWSROOM.
