The Island of the Silencenauts<\/strong> is an UNusual island<\/strong> \u2014 one that can change its form<\/strong>, disappear<\/strong>, and then reappear elsewhere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 2015<\/strong> as a sensory theatre performance<\/strong> taking place on the largest island of the Golyam Beglik Reservoir<\/strong> in the Rhodope Mountains<\/strong>, it lived through eight editions<\/strong> there before, in 2025<\/strong>, transforming from a performance into a traveling base of the Institute for Silence Research<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traveling island of the Silencenauts<\/strong> is a creative laboratory<\/strong>, presenting and developing new artistic forms and practices<\/strong> within the dimension BEYOND WORDS<\/strong>, where the audience is invited to become silencenauts \u2014 co-creators and explorers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, October 12<\/strong>, the Island of the Silencenauts<\/strong> will materialize for the first time in Sofia<\/strong>, in a truly new and UNusual place<\/strong> \u2014 a hidden garden in the Lozenets district<\/strong>, closed to the public until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Island opens its space to silencenaut explorers<\/strong>, creating an experimental environment BEYOND WORDS<\/strong>, where they can create, explore, and discover<\/strong> new forms and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Island of the Silencenauts \u2013 Lozenets, Sofia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A one-day festival<\/strong> that presents and unfolds the Silencenaut Culture<\/strong>.
Being on the Island offers an opportunity for quieting<\/strong>, conscious connection<\/strong> with the inner world and the surrounding reality, and \u2014 through expanded senses, imagination, and intuition \u2014 opens a Portal<\/strong> to a new, subtler dimension<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s as far as words can take us…
From here on, we continue BEYOND them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
