MULTI-MEDIA
From Silence Into Song
From Silence Into Song is a collaboration with the charity and choir Shout at Cancer. It explores our complex and often contradictory relationship with the transformative and destructive power of radiation. Created by Dr Thomas Moors and Philip Clemo, the project brings together two choirs: one of cancer survivors who have learned to sing again after laryngectomy surgery, and one formed from the “survivor trees” that withstood the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
