Every showing of About Silence is different and the performers all come from the arts community who are local to each place it is performed. These performers do not rehearse and are given only small directions just before the show starts.
About Silence has been performed by a long list of artists, programmers, and curators including Grace Surman, Gary Winters, Andrew McKinnon, Mabou Mines, Julie Atlas Muz, Mark Russell, and Kristen Marting,
