A powerful tale of war, resistance, and silence told through BSL, poetry, and live performance.
In an occupied town, a deaf boy is killed for failing to follow orders he couldn’t hear. By morning, the entire community has gone silent in an act of defiance.
Acclaimed theatre company Dead Centre makes its Royal Court debut, collaborating with Sign Language poet Zoë McWhinney. Blending spoken English, British Sign Language, creative captioning, silence, aerial performance, puppetry, and live cinema, this visually arresting production brings together deaf and hearing actors to tell a story of survival through language, movement, and poetry.
