Inhoud
At festivals and concerts, you normally focus on what you hear and see. At Sencity you can also taste, smell and feel the music! The artists and bands develop an immersive performance together with our sense director. Beforehand, they dive into the rehearsal room together to find out what the artist or band wants the audience to experience. This experience is described in emotions and stories. This is then translated into, for example, smells, tastes, images, vibrations and dance, in collaboration with experts. Finally, these elements are moulded together, to create a universal experience that can be enjoyed with all the senses.
"Hearing and deaf come together here, wow!"

Sense direction
By applying sense direction, for example to music, a performance is created that can be experienced by a diverse group of people, in an equal way. After all, it no longer matters whether you have no or reduced hearing, whether you are visually impaired, or whether you can use all the senses. No aspect of the direction of the senses creates an exceptional position for a specific group, but offers added value for the public as a whole.
“You don't just go for the music. You taste things, you hear things differently, you feel the vibrations in the floor.”
Feiertag, artist
History
Sencity begon als een persoonlijke uitdaging van muziekliefhebber Ronald Ligtenberg. Uit nieuwsgierigheid en ambitie stelde hij zichzelf de vraag: Hoe organiseer je een muziekevenement voor dove mensen? Hij ging op onderzoek uit en sloeg de handen ineen met dove en slechthorende mensen. Het eerste feestje, Deaf Valley, was een feit! Zo’n 20 jaar later is Sencity een beproefd concept en hebben tientallen edities wereldwijd plaatsgevonden waaronder in Australië, Brazilië, Duitsland, Engeland, Nieuw-Zeeland en Zuid-Afrika.
“Other festivals focus more on music. Sencity focuses on the complete picture, so hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling.”
