Silence: The Adventures of a Medieval Warrior told by Dolores Hydock

Silence: The Adventures of a Medieval Warrior told by Dolores Hydock

Presented by Storytelling Arts of Indiana and Indianapolis Early Music and Indiana Historical Society at Indiana History Center

Based on a story from the 13th century, Silence: The Adventures of a Medieval Warriorchronicles the life of a girl who was raised as a boy in order to preserve her right to inheritance.  As a result of her dilemma, she must choose whether to fill the traditional role of a medieval woman, or fight as a man.  Dolores plays all of the characters in this show, transitioning from the girl, to the king, to the queen, and more, flowing between them with ease.  This show promises both humor and emotional moments alike.

Dolores chose to partner with PanHarmonium in order to add emotion and dramatic effect to the story.  All of the musicians play period correct instruments, including harp, crumhorn, viol, recorder, lute, and hurdy-gurdy.  The members of PanHarmonium are David Cantrell, Susan Marchant, and Gilbert Richie.
