Threat Of Silence, The

Synopsis:
he Threat of Silence is an innovative and dynamic evocation of the languages of quietude and silence. Weaving, video, text, live performance and music this performance creates time and a place of refuge from the escalating bombardment of noise, information overload and escapist trivia satiating contemporary living. Silence in which the possible multiplies. silence in which the distribution of the sensible is remade. Quietude in which we are left thinking, aware of the space which we are left to fill.

Notes:
Under the direction of Jill Greenhalgh, performance Artist Eddie Ladd And renowned cellist Nicola Thomas, international video Artist Zoe Christiansen, And Award winning writer Margaret Cameron bring their considerable talents to this new production.
