Three generations under one roof. A young girl faces cochlear implant surgery as her parents wrestle with the weight of their choices. The unexpected arrival of a Deaf mother and daughter unearths buried truths that echo across generations.
Shane O’Reilly fuses theatre, opera and film in a bold and ambitious new work.
This contemporary family drama — tense, humorous, and authentic — pulses with the reverberations of decisions that will shape their future.
Some things cannot be silenced.
