The Silence
Created by Jay Scheib
From the film by Ingmar Bergman
Two sisters on the run from massive human failure hole up in a hotel where dream worlds collide with real worlds in an endless spiral down.
Jay Scheib reinvents Ingmar Bergman’s The Silence over a half-century after its release. This project marks a continuation of Scheib’s exploration of live cinema and multiplatform approaches to performance, as well as his engagement with Bergman’s work.
