Silent Museum

As the adage goes: 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' Have you ever tried communicating with others around you without using verbal descriptions?

Silent Museum is an interactive performance created by a group of Deaf performers from the Dialogue in the Dark. Using non-verbal communication, the performers will share stories related to what you would see in the museum—stories which are shaped by your conversation with the performers and other visitors.

Together, we will discover and how our body can 'speak' with movements and gestures and how our eyes can 'listen' in place of our ears, as we all learn to celebrate differences with openness and empathy. Open up your senses, as this will be the moment for you to experience the museum in a new way.

This is a non-verbal performance. Cantonese and Hong Kong Sign Language will be available in the pre-performance introduction with projected subtitles in written Traditional Chinese and English.

About the Artist

Founded in 2010, Dialogue in the Dark (HK) Foundation is committed to bringing new perspectives on social inclusion, diversity, and equality to the public, as well as corporate, educational, cultural, and other sectors across Hong Kong through sensory experiences created and conducted by a team of ‘People of Differences (PoDs),’ constituted of people with disabilities.

Wearing identical black, white, and grey windbreakers, they gesture and talk to each other. Some in the group wear sunglasses, and several have canes. The people in the front row are seated on a sofa in the centre and on stools on the sides.
