Theme : Silence
Silence is the absence of noise. It can symbolize a moment of suspension in the midst of action. The scenes leading up to it prepare so well that the audience is captivated by the images and sometimes becomes accomplice with the actors. Silence can sometimes communicate what cannot be said aloud, highlighting moments of doubt, discomfort, or fear. This lack of sound can also arise from the absence of other individuals, thus reflecting solitude, which can be either reflective or destructive.
Silence is also the act of remaining quiet. It is a lasting state that weighs on the characters and can extend throughout the plot. It fuels misunderstanding and fosters conflict and tension. Sometimes it is imposed as an injunction: Silence! It then becomes a form of oppression, taking away the possibility of expression from certain communities or individuals.
Finally, not all silences are perfect, as they sometimes take their name from the noise that preceded or followed them. In short, powerful silences are often very meaningful, and we are curious to see everything you will make them convey!
