Silence THE POWER OF

The Flatbush Family community came together on Yom Hashoah to see Witness Theater: The Sound of Silence. This production was a dramatization of the real-life stories of five Holocaust survivors, as portrayed by 16 YOF students, and was the culmination of nine months of heartfelt partnership between them.

Inspired by the question “what do we do when words fail – when language cannot accurately describe a particular story or feeling?”, this year’s production centered on what we hear and feel when there is silence. The show explored the quietness of peace, indecision, loss, freedom and hope and transitioned between silent pantomime acting and dialogue scenes.
