SILENCE AND STILLNESS

Stage images move slowly through dreamlike states. Music and movement blend together as the absence of something – the loss of someone – becomes a presence in the room. The parameters of time and space lose direction, while the performers embody loneliness despite being together physically.

“Silence and Stillness” is a collaboration between No Deadline and french music trio Kepler joined by Linda Oláh, a singer who has collaborated with No Deadline on numerous occasions during the last decade.

The piece was created in 2022, during two residencies in Frölunda Kulturhus, Sweden (hosted generously by Torbjörn Alström) and

L´Astrada, Marciac, France.

“Silence and Stillness” is supported by the French Ministère de la culture – DRAC Occitanie and Göteborgs Stad.

On the 29th of August 2023, “Silence and Stillness” had its world premiere at Atalante, Gothenburg, Sweden.
