Sense is a series of stories which link to each other. All five ?senses' are also plays in their own right. A play about teenagers, love, and the need to make radical choices, Sense is an intense, poetic journey into touching, inhaling, tasting, hearing, seeing and experiencing life to the extreme.
Eyes - Phoebe's eyes are blue; sometimes turquoise. The most beautiful thing about her and full of promise. Phoebe is in love with Tommi. Fred, the blind DJ at Tommi's party with the stupid pony tail and skinny arms - Phoebe didn't see him coming. Before she knows it she finds herself getting lost in his eyes on a train and blacks out...
Nose - Karl and Tommi have been best mates since they were little. Shared everything; schools, clothes, films - even their taste in women. Then they both fall in love with Jasmin... A poetic, aromatic journey of friendship, infatuation and betrayal...
Skin- When Jasmin meets Jule, it almost kills her. Jule, bones glowing through her skin, cuts on her arms and neck, toothpicks in the palm of her hand. Jasmin, running after her, hardly able to breathe, her lungs bloated to bursting-point. When Jasmin finally catches up with Jule, both are surprised by the intense turn of events
Ears - Natasha and Jule shared a room at the clinic. Natasha refuses to talk, instead she makes noises. Humming mostly, and sometimes gargling with spit. For Natasha, voices are nothing but pain, conversation is impossible. Until she meets Albert. Or rather, hears the sound of his feet underwater at the local swimming pool...
Tongue - Beate and Laurent have been together for seven weeks. Since he fell out of a hedge at Tommi's party, Beate has been overwhelmed by his stories - about the Cap Verde Islands, his hometown of Fogo, volcanoes, and his parents. Now he stands in her kitchen cooking a traditional African dish, Beate is overwhelmed by the tastes and flavours - and Laurent's advances... Running time: 3 hours including interval
