Silence on stage is sometimes more dangerous than screaming.
Silence is not without voice.
In theatre, silence is often a magnified pressure.
When an actor stops talking, the audience does not really enter the void.
We'll start hearing breathing.
Hear the clothing friction.
I heard the chair ring slightly.
Even heard his own uneasy judgment.
Silence makes watching impossible.
Zero-one silence exposes space.
The lines will focus on the meaning.
Silence exposes space.
How empty is the stage.
How far are the actors from the audience?
How cold the light is.
Why is a man standing so uncomfortable?
These things are often covered in language.
Silence, they all come out.
Silence makes the body bigger.
When an actor speaks, the audience follows the content easily.
When an actor is silent, his body suddenly becomes huge.
Hands where they are.
Eyes to where.
There's no sink in the shoulder.
Breathe isn't messy.
All the details will be magnified.
It is with this magnification that the cruel theatre makes the body a text.
Silence is not a pause.
A lot of stage stops just to create rhythm.
Silence in cruel theatre is not simply a pause.
It's a constant pressure.
It doesn't rush to bring the audience back to the story.
It leaves the audience in an inexplicable state.
The longer this situation lasts, the harder it is for the audience to remain on the sidelines.
Why are we afraid of silence?
Because silence doesn't make sense for us.
It doesn't tell us to laugh, to cry, to understand.
It gives the audience the right to judge.
It also returned responsibility to the audience.
Why aren't you safe?
Who do you expect to speak first?
Why do you want the scene to get there?
The silence forces the viewer.
A good silence requires structure.
The stage is silent, not casual.
It needs structure.
There must be energy accumulation ahead.
Actors must have physical status.
Space must have pressure directions.
The audience must be brought to a critical point.
Otherwise silence is just cold.
The real silence is the moment the theatre takes the knife back.
The knife is not in sight.
But pressure remains.
