Istanbul is a city that carries the traces of history in every corner and lives with its noise and chaos. Every morning, we get lost among the screams of seagulls, ferry whistles and crowds of people. But even in all this noise, silence is always waiting for us somewhere. When we stand by the sea and watch the waves retract, the silence of nature reminds us of the essence of life. This silence is actually a voice that makes us who we are, containing the deepest truths.
On the campus of Istanbul Technical University, while thousands of students rushing to classes every day, we sit under a tree in the quiet corners of the campus and listen to the wind. At that moment, perhaps we realize one of the most important lessons that life teaches us: Silence, the purest form of learning, is the echo of knowledge from the heart. As in Tanpınar's "The Time Regulation Institute", here too, time and silence touch each other and offer us a deep wisdom.
Everyone in our team has a different story, but what brings us together is a common bond that we find in silence. In the moments when the pens stopped, the conversations stopped and only the silence of our thoughts remained in the room, we realized that silence could actually be our most powerful means of communication. As John Cage said, there is a music even in silence; every silent moment is actually the beginning of a deep creativity, an inner journey.
Silence is where sometimes the deepest ideas are born. We want to reveal the ideas in this silence and share them on stage. Because we believe that the ideas hidden in silence have the power to create change. With the theme of "The Sound of Silence", we invite our viewers to discover this power of silence that nourishes creativity.
