The Silence Between Words

Culture Podcast
Ram discusses the philosophy of silence in his directorial work.

In this intimate conversation, Ram KAC opens up about his fascination with silence as a theatrical tool. "Silence is not the absence of sound," he begins, "it's the presence of meaning."

Throughout his career, Ram has explored how pauses, stillness, and quiet moments can carry as much weight as dialogue. His productions are known for their careful orchestration of sound and silence.

"I learned early on that what you don't say is often more powerful than what you do," Ram reflects. "The audience fills those gaps with their own experiences, their own fears and hopes."

This philosophy extends beyond his directorial work into his teaching, where he encourages students to embrace the uncomfortable silence and find truth in the spaces between words.
