Summary: 

The Japanese artistic collective proposes the workshop/performance Hitsudankai – From now/here, Silence, where participants can only communicate through writing while maintaining absolute silence.
Thus, they propose a new dialogue format where written communication is the channel through which conversation takes place. In this particular situation of total silence, a person’s presence is confirmed through his/her own body, images and drawings on paper. Only one person can write at any given time while the rest look on, listen and wait, during a period of stillness that increases in the space. Despite being a simple format, sometimes (almost always) dramatic moments occur.
