THE WORLD IS NOT SILENT

by Don X. Nguyen

at Northern Stage

February 4 - 22, 2026

THE WORLD IS NOT SILENT

Directed by Rebecca Wear

A father. A son. A lifetime of words unspoken. The World is Not Silent tells the funny and poignant story of Don, a first-generation Vietnamese American astrophotographer, and his father, Dau. Don grew up speaking English and never learned his father’s native Vietnamese, so when Dau begins to lose his hearing, their already fragile connection is tested further. Determined to bridge the gap, Don learns sign language, opening the door to a new way of understanding between them. The World is Not Silent explores the profound ways in which language can both divide and unite us, and how love finds a way to be heard.
