The greatest secret should be the best kept. But inside, something cries out that wants to come out. Something that has been locked away for far too long. When it first breaks, it lets out: monsters, burning birds, howls, anger – a cacophony of voices. The facade is dissolving. The cracks are deep.
So they stand there.
Looking at each other.
Looking into each other.
Are each other.
Is it you I have been looking for?
In TAUS ('Silent'), the audience gets to step into an inner work in motion. In search of a way to live on, a space opens up where what was once locked away is allowed to come out. One gets to join in the innermost nooks and crannies, where light is shed on what cannot be said, but which nevertheless exists. Silence is a vision of what cannot be said, but which nevertheless shapes a person. Of what lives on in the body and of what can come out when something is allowed to come out.
