The Institute for Silence Research (ISR) is a PORTAL to a parallel dimension within the existing reality, as well as the seed of a new culture \u2013 the culture of silenauts. At the core of all the Institute\u2019s research and practices is the premise that they occur in the dimension BEYOND WORDS, meaning that communication through language is temporarily put on hold. Since 2019, the Institute has had its permanent base \u2013 Silence Lab, the first creative laboratory operating 24\/365 BEYOND WORDS.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Originating as a concept in 2005, the Institute works in close collaboration with “Sensory Theatre Sofia,” which began in 2014 with the first BEYOND WORDS performance of the Theatre, titled “Institute for Silence Research”. Since its creation, the Institute has been a generator of hundreds of events \u2013 silenaut performances, concerts, journeys, exhibitions, residencies, evenings, retreats, as well as some entirely new scientific-artistic formats, laying the foundations of a silence culture destined to spread across the planet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

SILENCE LAB
Located on a high floor in Izgrev neighborhood of Sofia, just next to the forest with views of Vitosha and the sunset, the first base of the silenauts is a true research laboratory that has given rise to new forms such as \u201cDeep Sound Station,\u201d \u201cStill Sessions,\u201d \u201cNew Night Geography,\u201d meditative urban retreats, and more. Periodically, Silence Lab organizes open days to introduce a wider audience to its work, discoveries, and possibilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
