THEATRE PERFORMANCE “QUIETLY, QUIETLY”

“Quietly, Quietly” is an intimate two-character drama about a silence that becomes unbearable.

After a suicide attempt, a young woman named Milda chooses silence as a way of carrying on with her life. Yet silence not only protects her – it also becomes a silent cry for help.

During the performance, the audience enters the young woman’s room – a space filled with memories, where reality intertwines with nostalgic echoes of childhood in the 2000s: her grandmother’s voice, unfulfilled dreams and a television that is constantly switched on, filling the uncomfortable silences emerging in the relationship between the young couple.

A fragile connection develops between the young woman and the young man, balancing between intimacy and complete miscommunication. He wants to help but does not know how, while she wants to be understood but is afraid to open up.

This is a performance about the longing for closeness, and about how closeness is impossible without openness. About how difficult, yet important, it is to talk.
