Hearing Time in Silence

January 30–31, 2026
Presented by CultureHub & La MaMa

 

"An organism breathing: order, chaos, chance. You—part and whole, indivisible."

Hearing Time in Silence is an immersive art organism that composes sound and silence, time and relation through auditory, visual, and bodily experience. Audience, performers, objects, media, light, sound, and silence function as equal agents, overlapping to form a living universe.

Through shifting time and space, audiences encounter multiple coexisting universes. Movement and stillness, live performance and media, sound and silence intertwine, prompting the question of where the universe one enters exists. The space functions as an expanded opera, a constantly transforming sensorial field in which presence, relation, and time are continuously reconfigured.

Hearing Time in Silence is presented by La MaMa and CultureHub and created by students from the Seoul Institute of the Arts.
