Le Théâtre des Silences Artistic direction : Gwenola Lefeuvre Country : Bretagne ( France) The "Théâtre des Silences" thinks the world is way too loud, that it should rather keep quiet or find some kind of new languages.

Narrating with mime is forgetting spoken words and letting go of the political, polemical and the media : leaving it up to the senses Contact : www.letheatredessilences.com
