aaaarena combines voice composition, lyrical text and performance, and unfolds the body as arena and tool in the accelerated and norm-setting working life dominated by economic growth – where body and mind hardly can keep up, i.a. shapes our ability to hear and experience other than human-made mechanisms.

In the work the voice acts as a heartfelt instrument through multi-channel sound composition and 'live' voice together with a personal and critical text. A cacophony of moving voices forms the soundscape, where Thams' determined and participating voice, presence, and speech pierces through.
