Michael Vetter is considered a master of overtone singing, but he himself is much more interested in what he calls 'transverbal language'. "Transverbal" means making everything that moves itself and each other speak and understanding it as a linguistic event. It was against this background that Michael Vetter created his 'transverbal' literary genre back in 1972 with his wordless novel "Handbewegungen". This radio play is also an example of this. The audible, reflected via ear and voice, plays with each other. For Michael Vetter, reflecting means: focussing the entire complex human understanding apparatus with all its associative possibilities on 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.
