Jumi-Jami is an audiovisual performance that combines physicality with sonic art. Every pop and snap are audible through the PA system in the intimate ASMR spirit.
Our bodies are versatile, fine-tuned systems that allow us to move and communicate in the world around us. Many of us do sedentary work on computers and mobile devices, getting suspended in set positions and limited trajectories.
As a result, our muscles stiffen and become rigid. Jumi-Jami takes a playful approach, as the human body becomes an instrument and the “jammed” muscles relax during the massaging performance -a pain relieving jam!
