New Riga Theatre / Latvia
Innovative director Alvis Hermanis captures the idealism and social utopia of the 60s in his latest theatrical offering, Sound of Silence. The award-winning director takes us on yet another exploration into new form, this time creating a play entirely without words and set instead to the soundtrack and narrative of flower power icons Simon and Garfunkel.
Winner of the Grand Prix at the 18th International Theatre Festival in Poland, Sound of Silence is the tale of 14 young Latvians who discover the intricacies of love and life after the cancellation of a Simon and Garfunkel concert. Swathed in colourful vintage, the young ensemble set the stage alight and deliver vibrant, almost Chaplinesque performances as they move along the road to self discovery.
Sound of Silence is a colourful, humorous, and exuberant portrayal of human existence. In harnessing the hope of a revolutionary generation and the music that started it all, Hermanis has transformed the minutiae of everyday life into a visually delectable, life-affirming celebration. An utterly charming and evocative step back in time.
Music Simon and Garfunkel
A play without words
