Sooner or later secrets come into the open. The past is never far away. On stage, a lone woman. Alone, or perhaps not. Whispers unfolds in a place of muffled, disquieting sounds and restless phantoms, where nothing is as it seems.

Do strange forces control the figure we see or is she herself responsible for the febrile atmosphere? You will be drawn in to mystery and doubt.
Inspired by an image from a Vermeer painting, Whispers portrays an unsettling other world where everything seems ambiguous.

Patrick Bonté and Nicole Mossoux’s company works at the crossroads of dance, theatre, shadows and object manipulation. Their award-winning productions have toured to major theatres and festivals worldwide, and have been regular highlights of the Mime Festival over three decades. "A fascinating work that perfectly evokes the famous words of the Marquise Marie du Deffard “Do I believe in ghosts? No, but I’m afraid of them anyway”

"An astonishing performance by the dancer/manipulator. She breathes life into objects. Uncategorisable, irresistible, monstrous and lyrical”

Le Soir (Brussels)

"Mossoux knows how to generate wonder and stupefaction”
