Les Brigittines

The future is within reach. It is 2070 and a young woman is attempting to learn more about the suspect disappearance of her grandfather more than fifty years earlier. She is confident of finding out the truth and determined to bring it to light. But there is a lack of evidence… the talented Iranian theatre artist Azade Shahmiri is bringing her work to the Brussels stage for the first time. In Voicelessness, she sketches the moving portrait of a young woman who is desperately looking for an anchorage point in a dystopian world. Where can the truth be found? This court case reflects the elusive society of a country where freedom of expression is stifled but creativity is bubbling away beneath the surface. The chimeras the main character is after show us the present day seen from the future. How will future citizens of the world judge our era? Voicelessness develops a delicate story by mingling voices, viewpoints and time and is powerful in its simplicity.
