“The idea is daring, intimate, poetic, and profoundly reflective of the zeitgeist.”
1.000 Hours of Stillness
A live experiment in stillness, presence and human connection. A performance series in 10 cities. 1.000 hours in total.
In a world that never stops moving, what kind of impact can 1.000 hours of Stillness hold?
What happens when two strangers meet. Without words, without masks?
Our lives keep accelerating.
We scroll faster, speak louder, and listen less.
Even our moments of rest are filled with motion.
We reach for connection, but touch only the surface.
Anxiety has become our collective rhythm.
We crave depth. But we fear stillness.
The world rewards urgency, not presence.
Our lives have become a continuous scroll and between notifications and noise:
Being still becomes a radical act.
In 1.000 hours of Stillness the artist awaits you on the stage.
An empty chair in front of him. Your chair.
Before entering, you write down a single word — a burden, a hope, a longing.
A quiet confession your soul whispers just now.
You carry your note into the space of stillness and let it go. No one will ever read it.
Then you take your seat.
No words. No expectations. No performance.
Just sitting. In stillness. Together.
Vulnerability turns into connection.
Silence turns into dialogue.
The empty chair becomes a promise:
"You matter here."
When the moment feels complete, you simply rise.
You leave the space — and return to the other world.
Stillness is not escape.
It is confrontation. It is acceptance. It is release.
It’s not about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming more fully who you already are.
Each silent encounter becomes a small act of healing.
A reminder that transformation can be quiet.
The artist: Is your anchor, mirror and projection surface.
His role: To hold space. To witness. To remind you:
"You belong."
As spectator, you witness more than stillness. You witness vulnerability, trust, and the deeply human longing to be truly seen and quietly held in respect.
Here, stillness is not empty.
It is possibility. It is powerful.
A new beginning.
“1,000 Hours of Stillness” unfolds as a journey through time and cities.
Each event lasts for several days.
Together, they form one collective act of Stillness.
The project grows into a portrait of what it means to be human now.
Every session is documented — not as spectacle, but as evidence of a still human.
Across 1.000 hours,
these moments form a living archive of vulnerability and hope.
With thousands of people. And you?
If something in this work resonates with you — a sense of quiet recognition, a pull toward presence — we would love to hear from you.
Whether you wish to host a performance, collaborate, support, or simply share your reflection, your message matters.
Every conversation begins in stillness. Every collaboration grows from it.
