WHO IS SILENT SUSI

“You have always been Silent Susi. You are now learning to be Susi Danesin”

Massimo Danesin

 

Silent Susi is born from the love of Susi Danesin for non-verbal theatre. Silent Susi is a project, a very personal way of experiencing the art of mime, a theatrical formula which can overcome any linguistic, cultural or temporal barrier.

 

It constructs a theatrical language aimed at moving both adults and children, dealing with any topic and starting from an immense wish to communicate. Silent Susi begins when words end and gestures, sounds, looks, silences help the theatre.

 

Silent Susi has so far created five shows and several performances:
