"Silence doesn't exist. Just like there is no zero point. Luckily. That would drive us insane. Silence only exists in the gaps between sound. Out of that, everything is born. Listen."

Hear the Silence explores the need for embrace in times of disruption.
The starting point is the waltz, once a symbol of European refinement as a music and a dance, but in the 20th century shaken by underlying tensions.
Seven dancers and a musician revisit the waltz and deconstruct the dance form.
In search of collective resilience through a reconstruction with old debris, new compositions and parallels with the present emerge.
Hear the Silence is a contemporary plea for dance and music as a form of resistance and connection in uncertain times.
