High Noo(d)t
How does it sound?
What does an oracle sound like? Teacher from Net to Clean goes to the bathroom briefly during the field trip. Well, briefly? By mistake, she flushes herself and flushes down the drain. Soaking wet, she ends up in the dirty but also wonderful world of the sewer. There, ravenous rats run the Rejected Food Kitchen, busy beavers manage the Flushed-Out Toilet Paper Laundry and the Horrifying Hairball Oracle sends the teacher the wrong way. Then from afar she hears her class calling out. 'Teacher from Net to Schohooon! Where are you? Will she ever find her class again? High Noo(d)t is a magical musical mud adventure in which the five singers of Wishful Singing make their voices sparkling raw and abrasively clean.

FOR HOME
How does your highest note sound?
What does your voice sound like when you sing your highest note in a (sewer) pipe? In the bathroom? With your hands in front of your mouth? With your ears closed? In the sound box of a piano. With a leaf in front of your mouth? In the school hallway? Under the bridge? Under water? In a glass? On the toilet? Under a blanket before you go to sleep? Or through a toilet paper tube? And what does it sound like when you whisper this, like an Oracle?
Ask your mom, dad, or babysitter to record your highest note with her or his phone and send this recording to info@oorkaan.nl And get a chance to win a special high note prize!
