The Unsilent Mode project is a trilogy of works in progress between 2024 and 2026 which attempts to reconstruct the theatrical event for audiences who grew up with digital media, while distinguishing it from other existing forms of mediated experiences. The project meets at the intersections of intermedial performance, physical-digital embodiment, cross-cultural dramaturgy, and environmentally sustainable practices framed by post-pandemic contexts. The project involves Gen Z collaborators of different nationalities and backgrounds, while targeting audiences from the same demographic in physical locations across the globe. The project also relies on digital technology and does not involve physical travel among its collaborators.
The first volume (2024) brought together performance makers from the UK, Malaysia, and Japan, which were also locations in which the project was presented.

Thank you for joining us and providing feedback.
We return to our iterative process in the coming months. The first project will continue to take on different forms, which we'll update here as soon as we have details.
