An exploration of silence as a dialectical presence which unsettles while, at the same time, legitimates itself in a world cluttered with words.
Usually defined as an absence, silence is, in this case, perceived as a presence that does not go unnoticed. Guests become performers of involuntary sounds as well as voluntary creators of silence, bearing witness to their own concert of existence that contains a universe of subtle sounds in which a vigorous exaltation of silence dwells.
Therefore, a silent cocktail is also a sound event and presents no resemblance to any other social meeting; its silence places it in an unforgettably futuristic sphere.
Duration: Between 30 and 60 minutes.
