“I wanted my friends to feel the way I do... I wanted them to experience what I’ve experienced... I just wanted someone to understand how it feels.”
The Midnight Florists present an ‘unflinching’ exploration of communal healing, reshaping how we think, feel, and talk about assault. A reperformance of survival, and examination, not of the act but the consequence, not the fall but the rise. A gathering of voices channelled through surrogate mouths.
Drawing from over forty hours of verbatim recordings from survivors of domestic, coercive, and sexual violence, we tell the stories of “Alex,” “Sarah,” and “Maisie” in their own words. Through music, dance, multimedia, and broadcast, Drowning in the Sound shifts the narrative from the perpetrators to the survivors, celebrating their resilience.
Drowning In The Sound is ‘relentless in its attack on the subject and in celebrating the voices of victims of abuse’ (Robert Daniels, Bootworks Theatre).
