Question

make this shorter Mikaal Sulaiman uses surrounding sound to make plays stronger and to talk about social and political issues. Surrounding sound means the audio comes from all around the audience so you feel inside the story. He trained in Lecoq and in experimental theatre, and he helps write and shape shows. That leads to unusual formats, like plays you listen to on headphones. His sound work for new plays such as Fairview and Underground Railroad Game uses different sound textures, where sounds come from, and audio effects to explore race, history, and identity. He often works with other artists to try new forms, and he uses sound as part of the story, not just as background.

Answer 1

Mikaal Sulaiman uses immersive surround sound—audio coming from all around the audience—to strengthen plays and examine social and political issues. Trained in Lecoq and experimental theatre, he co-creates unusual formats (like headphone plays) and designs textures, spatial placement, and effects for works such as Fairview and Underground Railroad Game to explore race, history, and identity, treating sound as part of the story rather than background.
