How we can find expression and opinion when we are denied a voice?
Set in a future drastically altered as a result of climate change, air pollution has gone beyond crisis point and has shifted life into new ways of being. Speaking is now taxed, and each word spoken has to be earnt through hard labour. In this new world, young people, forced underground need to find new ways to exist, grow and express themselves.
Can they still be part of change, can hope still exist when words do not?
Whilst devising Silence Amplified, Sprung Advance had a brilliant workshop from artists Billy Read and Ben Randall at Deaf dance company Def Motion, exploring how to communicate physically, restricting the use of words.
