About the exhibition

Dialogue in Silence is an interactive, playful experience. With the help of deaf and hearing-impaired guides, participants discover a repertoire of nonverbal expressions.

To explore this world, visitors enter an area of complete silence equipped with noise-cancelling headphones. In differently designed rooms, they face tasks through which they discover body language, facial expressions, and other non-verbal communication. The tasks, which are easy for everyone to handle, empower the visitors to learn and practice their abilities of expression. They are invited to use their silent voices loudly and proudly for everyone in the group to hear.

The facilitators, masters in nonverbal communication due to their experience and expertise in sign language, show participants how to hear and listen in silence and help them change their mindset towards “others.” 


In collaboration with Andreas Heinecke, Thierry Roisin and International Visual Theatre.
