Inspired by Bob Dylan’s moment of hesitation during the recording of “We are the World,” “Let’s hear it for the boy” by Emi Miyoshi & Shibui Kollektiv opens a space for male vulnerability. In a time when gender boundaries are becoming more fluid while old role models are simultaneously regaining influence, the Freiburg-based choreographer—as the only woman on the artistic team—deliberately approaches the subject from an outside perspective. With a curious gaze and empathetic stance, she does not interpret but penetrates—raw, direct, unfiltered.

At the center is the moment of transition: from breath to voice, from tension to expression, from boy to man. That fragile instant in which the invisible becomes visible and vulnerability becomes audible. The Japanese term “nodo botoke,” literally “throat Buddha,” transforms the Adam’s apple into a poetic symbol of maturation and hidden vulnerability—where voice emerges, and falters.
