In The Quiet by Sergey Radlov the well-known choreographer Vailjevitsj fears being forgotten. A journalist from the magazine "Their lives" is the first to be let into the aging choreographers home universe, where there turn out to be others living…as of yet.

The Quiet was performed with The Polar Bear and I. The productions marked the end of the project Addicted only, a Norwegian-Russian playwright collaboration between The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater) and Baltic House Theatre.

Addicted only played on the themes the participating playwrights chose for themselves as starting points for their texts; vices and addiction. The project lasted two years and included seminars and workshops as part of the process, in Russia and Norway.

The six participating playwrights were Sergey Radlov, Maksim Korouchkin, Ekaterina Sadur, Jesper Halle, Lisbeth Hiide and Wetle Holtan.

The Quiet by Sergey Radlov and The Polar Bear and I by Jesper Halle were selected for production in Baltic House Theatre and The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater).

The two plays were produced by Baltic House Theatre and performed as visiting plays in The Open Theatre (Det Åpne Teater) November 6 2004 with staged readings of the rest of the plays.

Addicted only was supported by The Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA, The Freedom of Expression Foundation Fritt Ord and The Fund for Performing Artists.
