Artist Peter Baren invites you to experience the disarming power of silence in his performance THE SUBSTANTIAL LIGHTNESS OF SILENCE. In a world full of bustle and noise, Baren, with multiple performers, focuses attention on the importance of silence.
During this event, you will be taken on a city tour of various places of worship inAmsterdam. The tour starts from De Ark (in North) to De Thomas (in South) and takes you past places of contemplation (including the He Hua Temple on the Zeedijk, the Old Church, the New Church, the Fatih Mosque and the Portuguese Synagogue), while text boards let you reflect on what silence can mean. The walk ends with a performance at De Thomas.
At a time when harsh reactions and frenzy are prevalent, this performance offers a chance to pause and explore the value of silence. Discover how silence is not just the absence of sound, but a space for inner deepening and connection.
City walk and performance will be conducted with students from the Amsterdam School of the Arts (AHK)
