ABOUT

​​

Unsilent Mode is a trilogy of works-in-progress that aims to recontextualize the theatrical event for audiences attuned to mediated sociality and evolving technological paradigms. Interrogating how these systems shape perception, affectivity, and agency, the project simultaneously asserts a theatrical logic distinct from other mediated forms. The project sits at the intersection of intermedial performance, actual-virtual embodiment, glocal-translocal dramaturgies (adapting to locational contexts while threading resonances across sites), and sustainable production ecology. Each volume explores different pairings from the spectrum of audience engagement: liveness and co-presence (2024), immersion and reciprocity (2025), and participation and collaboration (2026). The project unites performance makers from diverse disciplines worldwide in a single physical location without requiring travel – collaborators alternate between physical and digital forms depending on where the project is presented. Despite its hybrid configuration, the works are experienced by a live audience sharing the same space as the physical performer, centring collective embodiment over remote, isolated mediation.
