TOGETHER; TOTAL ENSEMBLE.

Egmont, one of the inspirations for Total Ensemble’s 2021 production, sacrificed his life for his beliefs and freedom of the individual.

Millions make such sacrifice to this day, unseen, unacknowledged and unrepresented in popular media.

Silent stands, by quiet, effective people, shed light and love all over the world.

For many reasons others can only sit in isolation, yelling at the myriad screens before them, hoping someone might hear their cry in the dark.

Vulnerable people living an out of body experience, eyes slightly glazed, the rest of the body inert, as their frenzied ‘finger-tip’ diatribe is launched over social media, a mass, virtual, one-way debate; perhaps the only way they feel they will be heard.

Issues remain unresolved, problems unsolved, messages oftentimes misinterpreted and results destructive, only to expand a universal feeling of loneliness and separation that people insist they wish to annihilate.

This workshop is an antidote to the helpless, hopeless, frightening and melodramatic cacophony of chaos that seems to surround us all.

Bleating with the herd or acting from the heart?

Mute the megaphone, dare to whisper.
