Theatre of the Silence
Theatre of the Silence (TOS) was founded in 2000 by a group of Deaf theatre artists in Hong Kong. Through their work on stage and exchanges with theatres worldwide they spread the word that people, whether hearing or Deaf, should have an equal opportunity to enjoy and partake in the arts. The company's work embodies an alternative aesthetic based on the members' superb body movement, creating theatre pieces not only for those in a world of "silence" but also for those in the world beyond. TOS has toured to more than ten European, Asian and North American cities over the past three years. Theatre of the Silence is one of the leading Deaf theatres in the world and its members are outstanding cultural ambassadors of Hong Kong. |

Creation is a fascinating journey from the beginning of time into the future. Members of Theatre of the Silence lead the audience on an adventure incorporating visual theatre and visual poetry -- crafting body movement and gesture into a beautiful work of art. The beginnings of everything, the explosion of our galaxy, the creation of space, the appearance of Earth, life spreading over the planet, and an exploration of what the future may hold -- all of this is created with nothing more than the performers’ bodies and the audience’s limitless imagination. Directed by Mike Canfield, Creation was first premiered in Hong Kong in 1998 and has become a masterpiece in visual theatre.
