Description Innovative director Alvis Hermanis captures the idealism and social utopia of the 60s in his latest theatrical offering, Sound of Silence. The award-winning director takes us on yet another exploration into a new form, this time creating a play entirely without words and set instead to the soundtrack and narrative of flower power icons Simon and Garfunkel. Winner of the Grand Prix at the 18th International Theatre Festival in Poland, Sound of Silence is the tale of 14 young Latvians who discover the intricacies of love and life after the cancellation of a Simon and Garfunkel concert.
