Silence

Silence was a deeply touching vision of the terrors that can be experienced by refugees. Violent and shocking at times, those terrors are conveyed by a cast of actors playing the adults and vintage shop mannequins as the children, although at times the actors were engaged in portraying the behaviour of the kids. But it wasn’t only the oppressive regime of the terrifying gladiatorial baddies that we saw, there was also the moving attempts of the displaced to try to engage in some sort of normality. Beautifully staged, intense, moving and passionate, this was the stuff of festivals and hooray for that.
