The Sound of Silence at Apiary Studios

2 a.m in a Paris apartment, 1927. A young singer waits for her lover Emile, a fading gigolo, to return home. As the hours tick by she works herself into a frenzy until Emile finally arrives. Desperate not to be ignored the exasperation streams out of her. All that greets her is silence.

The Sound of Silence shows a woman transformed - where need replaces love and obsession replaces desire.

A site-specific theatre event in a transformed photographer's studio complex. Featuring live music in a 20’s Parisian jazz bar, and short, intense performances of Jean Cocteau’s The Sound of Silence, in the intimate space of the crumbling couple’s apartment.
