Lying-down concert 'Handpan Heartbeat'

Fri, 5 Mar 2027 · 19:30
Compagnie Bougie, Melle
€35
Let yourself drift on the soft pulses of the handpan. Close your eyes and feel how the rhythms feel like heartbeats from another world. In this lying-down concert, you are enveloped by handpan sounds, sometimes rhythmic and rousing, other times… subtle and soft. But often also warm and inviting, each time opening a new path to deep rest. Naturally, Andy combines his handpans again with other instruments, but sometimes you also hear them solo. The handpan invites you to slow down, to listen with your whole body. Each tone carries a whisper, a memory of simplicity, a vibration that takes you to a place where dreams and silence touch. Lie down, close your eyes, breathe. Feel how the melodies wrap around you like soft waves and take you to a space of inner warmth and light. Handpan Heartbeats… a true sound journey for the heart, a dreaming field of resonance in which you may completely melt away. Please provide your own lying mat, a blanket, and possibly a pillow for the head. This way, you can enjoy this soothing lying-down concert in complete comfort.
