Michael Vetter is considered a master of overtone singing, but he himself is much more interested in what he calls 'transverbal language'. "Transverbal" means to make everything that moves itself and each other speak in itself and to understand it as a language event. Against this background, Michael Vetter created his 'transverbal' literary genre as early as 1972, with his wordless novel "Handbewegungen" (Hand Movements). This radio play is also an example of this. Audible things, reflected via ear and voice, play with each other. For Michael Vetter, reflecting means directing the entire complex human apparatus of understanding with all its associative possibilities to the interplay of ear and voice. A wordless language like the one in this radio play is extremely ambiguous. Everyone will have heard a different story by the end.
