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."

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.

The show is presented in various sign languages and translated into International Sign, subtitles, and sometimes audio.
