It will be totally dark and A piece that we worked on with some soundscapes that we recorded on the unit will sound. There will be different voices of the girls, playing with whispering and collective reading.” “We seek to make people aware of what prison sounds like, what sounds are in there, what sounds are not there and what sounds they miss,” she concluded.
