There are situations that make us uncomfortable. Words that people don't speak. Injustices that they observe and allow to happen. Out of fear, habit, self-protection, or consideration. But who does this silence really protect? And what price do people pay—as individuals and as a society—every time they choose to remain silent?

Warum schweigen wir?
Why Do People Remain Silent? is a collective production by Teatro de las Oprimidas TFG that combines music, body language, images, and spoken word to question everyday silence in the face of injustice. The piece raises questions about the social, cultural, and emotional mechanisms that prevent us from intervening.
At a time when speaking out can make us uncomfortable, expose us, or isolate us, this piece invites us to reflect on who has the right to speak, who decides what can and cannot be said—and how collective silence can become complicity.
Using the method of forum theater, the audience is invited to develop collective strategies to engage with the situations presented on stage and propose alternative courses of action – based on their own experiences and social positions.
As an aesthetic and political experience, this piece also understands art as an act of positioning – and that shared words can be a first step toward transformation.
90 minutes
