Silent is a performative work that investigates how our relationship with silence changes throughout life. From birth to death, silence takes on multiple forms: comfort, absence, refuge, tension, solitude, or impossibility.

The piece proposes a journey through an ethereal universe where image is no longer central and silence becomes the core performative material. The experience unfolds within an immersive 360º video and 360º sound environment that surrounds the body and responds to the presence and actions of the audience. In a space that continuously transforms through interaction, the scenes emerge from the participants’ degree of listening, presence and stillness.

Each presentation is unique and unrepeatable. The actions of the audience shape the sonic and spatial universe of the experience, generating individual and collective dynamics that determine the development of each sequence. At times, individual desires transform the experience of the group; at others, collective decisions prevail—much like in life itself.

In an environment where sound and image envelop the body, Silent poses an open question: are we able to inhabit silence and stillness?
