Let Us Sit in Goddamn Silence for One Hour

A theatre experiment, a transient oasis, a personal challenge, an act of defiance. Join a live audience to sit. In goddamn silence. For one hour.

At Kingston Fringe 2026: a theatre experience that gives back what you bring to it. Choose your approach, and sit in silence:

A theatre experiment

What's a performance when you're doing the same thing as the performer? What's a play when nothing happens? Be part of something that challenges the idea of what a play can be.

A transient oasis

It’s a busy, noisy, terrifying world: when do you get to just sit quietly for a while? How often do you spend time with others that isn’t defined by an activity, agenda or goal? To just spend time sitting, without interruptions or demands?

A personal challenge

Can you do this? It’s okay if you can’t. Our world doesn’t foster stillness as a value: for some folks, this will be the easiest thing in the world, but for others — sheer hell.

An act of defiance

At work, we’re judged on “productivity.” In our lives, we’re being pushed by algorithms to consume more, watch more, “engage” more. Is there a more rebellious act in today’s world than doing nothing at all for a solid hour?
