Experience Firstsite like never before in this interactive performance.
Welcome is an interactive site-responsive performance that invites you to reflect on your interactions with people you don’t know in new contexts.
Wearing full-face masks and headphones, you will be guided through a sound-based narrative that offers a reimagined perspective of your surroundings.
Set in unconventional locations and facilitated by performers, Welcome transforms everyday spaces into immersive landscapes. The sessions will encourage you to engage with your environment and other people in new ways.
This is a fully interactive experience. You will be required to wear headphones and a full-face mask for the duration of the performance. There is no speaking involved, but active engagement through movement.
This event is suitable for ages 12+.
Belén Yáñez is an interdisciplinary artist whose participatory practice blends performance, installation, sound, and visual art.
Her work explores how social conventions shape behaviour and perception, using immersive spaces rooted in everyday experiences to foster shared understanding and collective action.
Her pieces are designed to stimulate the imagination of those who engage with them, fostering a sense of connection and co-creation.
