Lights begin to dim, and a quiet stillness of anticipation palpably subdues the audience. After darkness and silence fills that space of minute eternity, sounds in orchestra escape into wanting ears and thus a sojourning through story, in the form of theatre, begins its irrepressible rein.

and gloomy sky. Noises, whispers and voices follow me into the wall of dark muddied trees. The cold air pierces my throat as I inhale faster. My heart beats more rapidly with every step I take deeper into the wilderness. I think I have shaken them from my path and they are trailing far behind me in the distance. I hear the voices again, this time they sound like they are right next to me. I run, I run faster than a cheetah chasing its prey. I go deep into the forest, in the distance a tall,…

For example, when reporter Sheri Fink described the scene of the refugees in Macedonia being stuck between the borders, the inclusion of the murmuring sounds took the story from being mere words to letting me actually “see” the scene with a sea of people aggregated in groups waiting for fate to happen. It gave me more context to visualize than just a description of the people, and this technique…

and banging cupboards had become a white noise that helped lul Jungkook into a deep sleep. Which is why he felt uneasy one fateful night when a silence fell over the apartment. There wasn't the usual slam of the door or the presence of footsteps. No sound of silverware on plates or voices deep in conversation. There was nothing. It was as if time had frozen all around him as he lay there in bed, eyes fixated on the ceiling. He turned onto his side, mattress squeaking under…
