Silent Theatre
Theatre and performance companies are now beginning to exploit silent disco technology too. This ground-breaking approach – a mixture of narrative-led performance, sound art and guided exhibit - was pioneered by Feral Productions in 2009. Their first performance, The Gingerbread House, took the audience from The Courtyard, Hereford on a journey through a multi-storey car park in the centre of Hereford. In 2010, their second show, Locked (Rapunzel’s Lament), took place in a children’s playground, also in Hereford. Silent theatre has now taken off as a successful performance mode, with companies in Liverpool, Birmingham and Glasgow using the technology to varying ends.
