Sub_Bar #1

Towards the end of 2021, a small group of nearly 30 people in Berlin experienced something they had never experienced before: for around three hours, they remained in a venue where the air pressure variations created by special compositions played through subwoofers immersed their bodies and hijacked their focus, leading them into another state of mind.

A few months later, nearly 100 people in Lisbon went through the same process. Some cried in liberation, one left in panic, and a few fell asleep. Yet, about 95% of them left the venue reporting what became the most recurring feedback:
🗣 “I feel like my mind and my body are one.”

The music was created by both Deaf and hearing artists. The vibrations embraced them from head to toe, and the sensation felt as if it was coming from inside—a familiar, visceral, yet entirely new mix of silence and music. These were the first showcases of Sub_Bar music. Over the years, rising Deaf talents trained with established artists at Sub_Bar Academy, working exclusively with low frequencies. Some of them went on to perform at major music stages, including ADE Festival in Amsterdam, Silent
Green in Berlin, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Serralves.

There are no recordings of these shows—because they are ephemeral. You cannot simply
watch them or listen to them at home.

Now, The Sub_Bar Show #1, premiering this April in nearly 30 cities worldwide, marks the final step of this long journey—from 0 to 1, establishing a new music style for the sense of touch and a ritual that brings together Deaf and hearing communities. With international names like Efdemin, Reboot, Felicity Mangan, Byetone, Roberto Musci, Stefanie Egedy, Terence Fixmer, Amma Atera, and Petre Inspirescu behind its ever-growing catalog, the Sub_Bar Show is simply a new reason to meet and enjoy stories—just like concerts, poetry nights, or cinema.

The show is presented in various sign languages and translated into International Sign, subtitles, and sometimes audio.
Sit down, close your eyes, and relax. One day, you can say you were at the first one.
