9 Kinds of Silence

PlayCo presents 9 KINDS OF SILENCE, written and directed by Abhishek Majumdar. In a military tent on the shore of a country that is winding down a multi-year war, a Mother processes returning soldiers for the homeland and a Son returns from combat. Over the course of one night, they must navigate a state-mediated language, communicating to each other what they’ve witnessed through the years as the war has raged on and a dictator has come to power. 9 Kinds of Silence considers sound and silence as means of control, subjugation, and protest.

Join us in Majumdar’s dramatic experiment that invites you to focus on what is heard, thought and felt in silence, the last refuge of authentic humanity.

Theater tickets range from $10 Theater for Everyone Tickets to $100 True Value Tickets.
