Joshua
The Silence We Flee
About the Job
Joshua is Naomi’s boyfriend — a gifted dancer in Kampala who communicates more through movement than words. Dance is his language. It’s how he loves, how he hopes, how he survives. On stage, he is powerful, expressive, magnetic. Off stage, he is warm, romantic, and deeply sincere. When Naomi becomes a political target, Joshua tries to protect her — offering to hide her, to run away with her. But he learns that love and art cannot stop violence. He represents the life Naomi leaves behind — passion, home, rhythm. The actor must be physically expressive. Joshua’s emotions should live in his body as much as his voice. His strength is in vulnerability — and in the poetry of how he moves.
