Look out for Maja Zećo negotiating Hazel and Thoroughsale Woods from Corby town centre this September as Silencer. A performance in a sensory impairment soundwalking suit complete with earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones. Binaural microphones are hidden in the suit recording the environmental sounds while the surface of the suit absorbs external noise and vibrations.

As Maja experiences the environment in complete silence the suit makes ‘the other’ visible in public while concealing gender, body shape and voice. Performed for the first time in a woodland location, at once both a playful intervention and an unexpected encounter, the work has connotations of protective clothing and social distancing that speak to larger fears of walking through woodland spaces.

The Silencer performance will begin and end outside The Corby Cube and can be spotted close to the main entrance at around 2:30pm and 4:30pm on 17th September.
