About visual theater and visual music

A special feature of Werner Mössler's theater work as a deaf actor is the handling of music that deaf people can experience visually with the eye and through vibrations. Werner Mössler said about “visual music” as follows: “The arythmic movements of the sun's rays, which are reflected on the undulations of the water, the dripping tap, the leaves in the wind, all of this has a certain rhythm and can become music for the deaf . "

Irene Suchy writes in "Partituren des Körper" about Werner Mössler's visual theatrical art: "The signed performance of the Stramm poems, published under the title Tropfblut in Walden's magazine Der Sturm between November 1914 and April 1915, reveals the immediacy of poetry."
