THE PERFORMANCE PROJECT
A NEW PLAY
"a warning for the king"


The Performance Project's newest work-in-progress, is a contemporary myth
based on themes from the Company-members' lives. The title quotes an old
proverb, "the silence of the people is a warning for the king."  The story
is based upon Company members' belief that when one is denied their voice,
as an individual, or as a people, chaos will ensue. Through spoken word, rap
and monologue the cast confronts the impact of greed, racism, addiction, and
being silenced. The play expresses the urgency of speaking out and
recognizing that our fates are intertwined.
